The Unassuming Assassin Book

A thrilling first novel by Scunthorpe born, Sheffield-based political writer, Les Arnott. This former Chairman of Magistrates, local preacher, broadcaster and Grand Final Champion of Fifteen to One has portrayed a society several years in the future which has totally lost its way and where violence is the inevitable outcome. At least, love can still triumph. Vengeance combines unusually with a spiritual odyssey as the reader marvels at the insanity of political thought processes. Clever twists help make this a book to excite the most demanding reader. A challenge to all. "The Unassuming Assassin" is the story of an ordinary man's unrelenting crusade against violent criminals. The story begins with a brutal slaying which, for Mel Roberts, avenges the death of his daughter. From this point on, Mel investigates the rationale behind his action at the same time as he embarks on a journey of spiritual self-discovery and an investigation of the Christian Faith. The violence escalates and changes in nature as he attempts to clear up all the social chaos caused by political midgets. Against a backcloth of political lunacy and wild experimentation with a novel form of transportation, he often seems the only voice of sanity until we meet Detective Inspector Jerry Kemp. Are Mel's actions inevitable? If not him, would it have been somebody else? Why does Mel act as he does? Is he a multiple killer because he has a psychological and spiritual defect or is it because of the failures of successive governments to protect its citizens from violent criminals? Where do our sympathies lie? The novel helps bring parts of Sheffield and Scunthorpe area to life. This is a tale which shows a cabinet rocked by the social disintegration its policies and those of its predecessors have caused. Across all of this, the novel is also a simple love story. For those who enjoy a tale with twists and turns - satisfaction is guaranteed.Read More
