The Man With the Green Suitcase by Dee Doanes
99 cents on Kindle


What does...

A prostitute,
A corrupt businessman, and
A disfigured young woman

Have in common with a mysterious, old
homeless man who carries a green suitcase?

The old man comes into people’s lives because it is
important for them to experience the visions that he is somehow able to show them—visions that even he doesn’t understand. But whoever he connects with will go through a transformation that will change the course of their life, for better or worse. The old man has no memory of who he is or even what the suitcase holds.

This story is magical realism, realistic with paranormal elements, a mystery that needs to be solved, and a man and woman who will finally realize that they were meant to come into each other’s lives
and remain forever.

by Scott Smith.

It was also made into a film in the 90s.

I would like to nominate either The Picture of Dorian Gray or The Monk. I've read some of both, but haven't finished them. They both revolve around greed/corrpution/the evil of humanity/etc, so they count. Probably. Hopefully.

I'm really just looking for an excuse to getting around to reading them:D

Thanks for both of your nominations, Dee and Nej!:D
