Oblique: A Novel
An old proverb says, "Revenge is a dish best served cold," but in the fantasy psychological thriller
Oblique
, Kim Travers serves it up white hot!
When Kim lies in a hospital clinging to the slimmest of lifelines following a vehicle accident that claimed the lives of her husband and daughter, she's visited by a mysterious man known only as The Accountant. Instead of accepting her helpless fate, Kim is offered otherworldly powers to exact unholy retribution upon the powerful senator that killed her family. The price? She must do the same for others that have been victimized, as well.
With each act of revenge, Kim's rage intensifies while dancing on the razor's edge between the forces of good and evil. Soon, what started as desperation becomes a gruesome crusade to punish the depravity that goes unpunished and wreak havoc on the vile predators that haunt her world. But in a twisted universe where only an eye for an eye is no longer enough justice, where are the boundaries? Left looks right, and right looks wrong. All around her, the signs are showing Kim the path she seeks, but will she recognize them before she succumbs to the reality that the monster we fight becomes the monster within?
