Dan Glover’s Peppermint Soul is a timely, suspenseful, morally complex thriller. The author has so much detail that I feel like I’m right there moving through every bit of action. Beginning in Viet Nam, we are introduced to the main character, Danner, an expert sniper, “the Guardian Angel” as he works alone in the jungle.
“His finger tensed ever so slightly as he calculated the distance, the wind speed, the humidity, the heat… all the factor in how far a bullet would travel.”
We later learn Danner’s wounds, his horrible childhood, a stint in prison. His character arc is built to protect, a full-blooded warrior. We are then introduced to beautiful Liza McNairy, an equally flawed character with childhood wounds, a former prostitute and Sherriff’s deputy, possessing a heroin addiction. The unlikely duo bond together as partners, solving cold case crimes that regular police detectives have thrown in the trash heap. What is most remarkable is Danner’s use of his psychic abilities to help solve crimes.
I won’t say anymore of the story development because I do not want to create a spoiler. But I can tell you, the story moves fast, dialogue is fantastic. You really get into the heads of the characters.
Dan Glover is a master at developing two sympathetic characters, making you feel the loneliness tunneling through their souls. I have read several of Dan Glover’s books and each one is different, surprising and engaging.
