He’s damaged . . . and ensnared in a geopolitical storm that will shock the world. He has no skills. Or . . . does he?
When a high-profile client is murdered in Greece, and an associate is shot dead in Chicago, Sid Aror finds himself heading up the suspect list.
There’s no one he can call on for help for fear of implicating them. Backed into a corner, he’s left with no option but to solve the cases to exonerate himself.
Yet, he lacks the skills needed to unravel the mystery on his own. He’s no sleuth.
On the run, and saddled with deep-rooted fears, Sid creates a hypothesis that explains the murders, but quickly realizes that finding evidence to support it is a whole other thing.
His search for the truth draws him into a world of corporate kickbacks, espionage, and underground organizations. Into a conspiracy so big that it could result in the next Big War.
“The Hypothesis is the first book in a mystery thriller series."
“If you like big plots, real characters, and believable action, then you’ll love this novel—it sets your mind and pulse racing."
“Nick Slade brings the nexus of big-money, big-business and geopolitics into focus with startling clarity."
Compelling, suspenseful and thrilling look into a tale where greed and geo political murder collide when Sid Aror and his Ivy League business partner Mark arrive in Athens right after the Greek Prime Minister is shot while having lunch. The dialogue is enjoyable but often technical. It threw me off a bit at times, although the high level conspiracy and the countdown to something worse raised the stakes, and kept me intrigued to see how it all turns out.
This book is quite the adventure. I admit that I didn’t heed another reviewers advice and keep track of my characters so I had to page back to figure out who was who. Well written, plot driven narrative. I don’t know Greece or the Mediterranean well, so I had a hard time picturing everything but it was very well done.
The story is well-written interesting start to finish. There is a lot of action, twist throughout the story. The dialogue is natural and the characters come to life.
