The Invisible World Is a place of half-truths, mystery and deceit. It is a place locked in the subconscious mind where dreams and memories act as windows to the outside. And it harbours the deepest pain. Samuel Xavier Adams is all too familiar with The Invisible World. It's where he sees his sister who died from heroin addiction, and it's where he glimpses his recently deceased mother. It's also the place where the memories of his father are locked away, a father shrouded in mystery, a hunted man. Now that man is back, and has been seen in the chapel of rest where the ashes of Samuel's mother await his collection. When the ashes disappear, Samuel knows that his father has taken them - but why? He wants answers. Why has his father returned again and after such a long time, and what did he do that keeps him in constant hiding? Samuel wants answers. But time is running out; there are those that will kill to get to his father before he does. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

But I don't mean to make light of this book, or any of Smolens' books. BEcause make no mistake, this guy is a master at creating believable and very human characters, as well as at setting the scene and creating a very firm sense of place. His pacing is skillful and exact. He keeps you turning the pages, wondering what the hell is gonna happen next. In fact his books represent the very best of literary suspense/thriller/mystery genre. And the emphasis here is on "literary." His writing is on a par with, if not above, the work of great suspense writers like James Lee Burke, Lawrence Block or the late Tony Hillerman. And several cuts above the trash for the masses that John Grisham puts out (although I must confess that while I simply can't read Grisham, his books do make good films).
The story here, another twist on the JFK assassination theories, has obviously been painstakingly researched, and thus made chillingly believable. The skulduggery, political machinations, bloodshed and murder all seem equally and eminently real.
This guy's books are just plain good. They must be, because I don't generally read many mysteries or suspense-thrillers, but Smolens snags me every time. Someone needs to "wake the town and tell the people" about this writer. He deserves a much wider audience. Read John Smolens, please. You'll be glad you did. ( )
