Review of Wrong Conclusions: A Novel (Paperback)
Wrong Conclusions is a solid effort from a first time published author.The author’s depth of knowledge, both in terms of setting and of subject matter, is evident, as is the possibility that living life in a big city can put you innocently in the wrong place at the wrong time.There is clever, if sometimes convenient, intertwining of fact and fiction, and one can feel empathy for the main character, who is portrayed as an accomplished salesman but a sometimes hapless bystander to the circumstances occurring in and around his own life.A pivotal action scene in the book is handled with good sense of urgency and good attention to detail. While the book’s ending might be predictable, it is an entertaining read, and as this author continues with his craft, I will follow.
Product Description
Tom Tyler, a salesman for a food service company, doesn’t believe in luck. For twenty-five years, he’s worked hard to achieve success at his job and in his marriage, even resisting the temptation to have an affair with a beautiful co-worker. But Tom’s luck is about to change. After discovering his car has been stolen, he stumbles into the underbelly of Chinatown, where a violent underworld thrives. All he wants to do is get to a police station, but before he can, two thugs confront him on a quiet side street. Tom barely escapes the encounter as a man known only as Fong, a Chinese gang leader, watches from the shadows. When Fong sees Tom enter a police station, he assumes the worst and orders him killed. Now, Tom finds himself battling for his life. Likewise, so does Ming Yee Lin, an illegal immigrant who Fong has snuck into the country and enslaved. To free themselves from the gang, both Tom and Lin will need some breaks to start going their way. Otherwise, they will find themselves dead because of Wrong Conclusions.
