MY REVIEW:

Parabellum: A Literary Crime Novel by Greg Hickey

Really interested read. Words on the page jumped out at me, in full color and expressions I could feel for myself. Prepare for war…

When author describes a scenes you not only see it, feel it but can smell it and everything around you.

Would make a perfect movie.

Starts when the coroners office van is picking up dead bodies at the beach.

Then we go back in time to discover there are four people being treated for brains problems and we learn all about them at present.

Some glimpses of their past come into play also. Medical conditions and therapies that sometimes work are discussed as you follow their journeys along the way.

Any of them would be the shooter or all of them. Find out for yourself, great read. First time author for me and can't wait to review more of his works.

There is so much to this book, loved learning about Chicago and the various locations as I've never visited myself.

Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
