Reviewed by Rattan Whig for Readers' Favorite
A brilliantly written, extremely well conceived and superbly researched book about the struggles of an ordinary man caught in the crossfire between a greedy, despicable politician - one of the kind whose only aim is to get rich, thoroughly corrupt and morally way past dead - and a group of self obsessed, self styled jihadists whose only aim is to wreak havoc and destruction on peaceful places. Well, caught in the crossfire or placed deliberately with a carefully conceived plot sewn around doesn't really make any difference for Jack Dublin in The Dark Side of Death by S.T. Phillips.
The book opens with what seems to be the start of a terrible break-up between Jack and his partner. As the story unfolds, the looming break-up turns out to be the least of Jack's worries because he is implicated in and charged with the murder of a government official's son, a specter Jack is not too unfamiliar with. Jack is soon confronted with an uphill struggle to first stay alive and then eventually and hopefully clear his name. The path to prove his innocence would cost Jack more than he had bargained for, perhaps more than he could afford to pay.
The unfolding story catches the reader unawares, for what begins simply soon boils into a raging inferno, before cooling down and then erupting again. There are fast moving, action-packed parts alongside slow paced and delicate shows of affection and love between two equally tormented individuals. The story delivers what it promises for not a chapter goes by without the boost of adrenaline delivered directly, making the book hard to put down once started.
