By: D.W. Carver
238 pages
Genre: Thriller
Publisher: Damnation Books
Publication Date: September 2013
Synopsis:


Michael couldn’t understand the nightmares that made him violent on waking, mostly because he didn’t have the courage to think his problem through. Eventually, pressured into entering a mental hospital by his employers he thought that here he would find answers and a way to a better life. He was never more wrong.



My Thoughts:

* I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I found the plot hard to follow at first but after a little while my brain cleared up and I started to enjoy it. It's an original work with a sympathetic protagonist. I found the subject matter hard to read at times but in the end I found it worthwhile to stick to.

Publisher: Crime Wave Press  (March 8, 2013) Formats: Print & eBook  380 pages * I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.     Synopsis:  Working Tokyo nightclubs is easy money for beautiful and troubled American Val Benson - until a client with a rather unusual hobby - painting the private parts of his female liaisons - reluctantly gives up a map to a stash of Japanese war loot and tempts his favourite girl into a dangerous treasure hunt.  The Congressman's daughter is not the only one interested in the map: yakuza, bent cops, human traffickers, rogue CIA agents and her father are hot on her trail, snapping at her high heels.  So begins the dark, epic journey of a new anti-hero of Asian Noir, a protagonist both ambiguous and courageous, and utterly unreliable. From comfort women and tomb-raiding in Japanese-occupied Burma to the murderous echoes of the Vietnam War, long forgotten crimes come roaring back to life, a
