"Killings..international intrigue & adventure abound...", October 26, 2006
This review is from: CHOKING SAM (Hardcover)
"Choking Sam," by William DeNisi, Lakeside Communications Publishers, CA, 2006, ISBN 10: 0-9771075-1-5, (HC)440 pgs., 6 1/4" x 9 1/4".
This second gripping novel by DeNisi splendidly retains his James Bond-type protagonist Investigator Mike Sullivan and his sidekick, ranconteur & attorney, Charlie Gomez. Once again, the action begins in an Orange County Sheriff's jurisdiction with a series of brutal killings of an Asian racial group, but the cases are unexplainably appropriated by the FBI. Concurrently are world reportings of explosions & earthquakes in the Sea of Japan off North Korea. In this setting, Mike and Charlie deploy in an underwater deep sea search of Japanese waters for a lost energy device, and are entwined in an adventurous plane rescue taking them into China and Russia before returning to Orange County where Mike is confronted with the principals leading to closure of the Asian killing spree, and just in time for Mike to resume a desperately needed liason with his old flame, Audrey.
The success of the book is attributable to the book's easy reading prose style,engaging characters and the writer's imposition of multiple subplot stories which then mesh together quite akin to Huxley's "Point CounterPoint." I'll leave it to the reader to discover where the title comes from. This is a book you'll want to read now, and not wait for the Holidays.
