About the Author
Nowadays it seems that anyone with a computer has the capability to type pages of copy and label it "novel," over past years poorly written street stories have become a cheaply manufactured epidemic and have soiled the literary market. The truly unfortunate part; authors who are serious about the craft of writing have to carry the heavy burden of the negative stigma attached to a book that’s seasoned with some of the same elements that are shamelessly exploited. Lucio Dutch is one of these authors! Lucio Dutch’s (the gifted author of Illadelphia, Snap, Girlz Night Out, Blind Justice, Thrill Of The Hunt, Summer Madness, Orange Crush [The Gang Park Murders] unique reality-based fiction style has a way of making even those far removed from the subject matter relate, being overcome by his tales. Dutch’s prolific pen never stops as he continues to put the finishing touches on novels Fed Time, Fan Mail, Gold Suga, 18 & Out, State’s Evidence, Seven Years, The Last Stop, Work-Related, Signin’ Off, Bonding Agent, But First, You Die!, Ridin’ High, The Vapors, and Free Time. Ultimately, the goal of this writer of mixed heritage is to try to elevate the DUTCH brand of fiction by telling sophisticated stories, while at the same time keeping the edge, not alienating the huge but historically disregarded urban audience. "The ability to purchase a basketball doesn’t make you a player, playa!"

Not what I expected....,
This review is from: Snap (Paperback)
Lucio Dutch's 'Snap' was not at all what I expected. I thought the story was going to be another prerequisite for guns, gangs, and violence. But what it ended up being was a catalyst for 'everything is not what it seems'. Snap gives you a chronological history into the lives of five friends.
Doug who is a popular basketball star has a great future ahead of him. But once an awful truth is uncovered, that once bright future soon becomes dark and unattainable. Felix, who is the rebel without a cause, is always looking to prove he's the HNIC. One deadly mistake takes him on a downward spiral of destruction. Omar and Calvin are like the middle men. They feel their friends can do no wrong, and they are the ties that try to bind and keep them all from parting ways, and ultimately falling apart. Victor is the 'all American' perfect son, mentor, and friend. A person on the outside looking in thinks Victor is `the man', and that his life is that of a fairytale. Little do they know that Victor is battling a demon that is dead set on ruining his very existence. Although the use of the 'N' word was quite excessive to me personally, and the hardcore, street lingo was not what I'm accustomed to reading, Lucio Dutch does have a gift for writing. The erotic, intimate sex scenes are ones that will really draw you in and have you feeling as though you are right there in the mix. The book became so good to me that I started reading it in my car when I got caught by a train, or stopped at a red light. There are parts where Lucio is jumping around so much that you catch yourself wondering who he's talking about. But he flips the script back on track, and you're back in the groove again. Snap is a fast paced, thriller driven, suspenseful, erotic piece of work that you won't be disappointed with. Valerie A.

A killer amongst them,
By LADY_KI (BRONX, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snap (Paperback)
Is it possible to ever truly KNOW someone? This is a story of sex, infidelity, and MURDER. Victor Sinclair grew up in what appeared to everyone else as the perfect home, raised by both parents. Life at home for Victor was less than perfect with his parents planning to get a divorce because of his fathers constant infidelity. His perfect world was starting to fall apart. He was in extreme emotional pain and wanted others to feel his pain.
Lucio Dutch had done it again. He has written another suspenseful and sensational novel for readers. With Lucio you get it all great characters, suspense and drama. I invite you to become a Dutch reader, trust me you will not be let down.

A Killer Within,
By
This review is from: Snap (Paperback)
To the outside world Terrance and Leslie Sinclair were the perfect couple. They met at a family reunion, fell in love and tied the knot. Their son Victor was conceived on their honeymoon. They were happy but what Leslie didn't know was Terrance had already broken their wedding vows by the time she was five months pregnant. Victor Sinclair is an only child. He was the perfect son, the perfect student and the perfect friend. Popular, well dressed with plenty of confidence, Victor had two loving parents living in the same house who were supportive and wanted him to be the best he can be. His friends were often jealous of him because of this. Yes, the Sinclair family were perfect to all...including themselves, until their world becomes unraveled and Victor's life spins out of control. He sinks into himself and emerges as a depressed shadow of himself. His sexual cravings intensifies, he needs some relief so he set out to get some but what he finds is a new high, one that coupled with sex may be the best high ever....Murder! Felix, Doug, Calvin and Omar are Victor's friends who have their own problems (especially Felix and Doug) and can't see that there is a monster among them. Lucio Dutch has penned an awesome novel here. His style is fresh, his characters are appealing and his analogies are excellent! We are forced to think of people around us; who are they really? What does it take for someone to become a serial murderer? Lucio Dutch takes us to a dark corner in the mind of Victor Sinclair to find the answers. Locksie ARC Book Club Inc. Star Rating *****5.0
