A Case of Revenge

by Darryl Bollinger

Carly Nelson, the COO at a hospital in southwest Florida, is on track to fill her boss’s position once he retires. But when he dies in an accident, chaos erupts, and a series of apparently unrelated incidents put her career in jeopardy. When events start affecting her family and those close to her, it gets personal, and Carly is determined to find out who’s behind it.

In this modern twist on a classic story of revenge, someone with the Internet name of Sorcerer is out to destroy the people he holds responsible for the tragedy in his life. A computer genius, Sorcerer keeps upping the ante but leaving few clues to his evil plan. His final act will have devastating consequences for Carly. Can anyone put the pieces together before it’s too late?

A Case of Revenge gives a frightening glimpse of what is possible in a world where computers and technology reach into every corner of our lives.

Reviews

[Cale · Rating 4 out of 5]

For me, “A Case of Revenge” started off a bit slow, with a lot of ‘telling’ of events right off the bat. Even the opening scene that was supposed to be dramatic left me feeling a bit detached and removed from the action. So I worried that I wouldn’t like this book very much, but as the story progressed I found myself becoming fully immersed in this creepy and downright troubling mystery. The element of technology in this novel was unsettling, and it really can be used as a real-world weapon. The characters were unique in their own right, and believable to a point. Overall I can say that despite the rocky start, I ended up enjoying this novel and would recommend to my friends.

Great mystery novel with a very modern flair. It's a good premise that will appeal to mystery lovers and computer geeks. I found it tough to put down, even on the second time I read it. Good characters that you really bond with, and a quick moving plot.

Good Thriller

I like reading a medical thriller written by a hospital administrator instead of a doctor, it brings a whole different perspective to the story. This book deals with a serious problem that can be done, it's time we thought about it.
