You’re on your way to a big business deal that’s going to put you on easy street; you’ll be set for life. You grab a bite to eat and flirt with the help and when they leave, you sum up the guts to approach them. But when you get outside, she’s being murdered. The killer runs off and you stand there. When the police arrive, what do you tell them? Well, Chad Bowman says nothing; he has more important things to do. At that moment, his life goes downhill, he losses one of his senses and someone or something is following him. Ain’t karma a . . .

I looked at the art in this book and all I could compare it to was episodes of “The Twilight Zone” because it looked like real life but just off a bit, this added to the story. The paneling was simple and for a story like this one, you couldn’t do better. Finally, the writing, I dang near fell into this book because it draws you in. This was a solid effort. The story flowed through every frame and hit the points you would want it to hit. They leave just enough out to have you want more.

Reading this, I couldn’t find anything wrong with this offering. You could feel Chad’s attitude about everything before the murder and then after it. You can feel him recognize that something is not right and he no longer has full control of his life. This makes you question what would you have done and if you do what he did, what would happen. In my humble opinion, this is one that you want to get now and follow it to whatever the end is. I give this 5 caps out of 5.
