Modern Suburbia by Chris Merlo

Modern Suburbia by Chris Merlo

Lovable villains who sometimes concern you with their attitude but it comes together really well in the end and explains the start of the novel and some of the hero’s actions. Nathan is the star and he goes through hell after being arrested driven by a big axe to grind against his boss.

At first Nathan seems like a very sloppy getman for the bigger fish but gradually his master plan is revealed to us. The risk he takes keep us right on the edge and we expect his demise in several of the action-packed scenes.

There is something in this novel for gamblers, computer nerds, fight fans, copbugs and unexpectedly romance seekers! It’s four out of five for me and had to keep it going to the end to see what the outcome could be. Have to admit I did not guess but found one of the final scenes where Nathan gloated to his imprisoned enemy worrying because he was putting his forthcoming fortune at risk.
