Being a writer is only one of this author's many talents.The main character in this novella is Nathan James. Nathan could not get the image of his wife of seven years out of his mind. The image of her dead with half her face missing never dulled with time. The buzzing of condolences didn't help. Instead they brought him back to that fateful day again and again. He had grown tired of analyzing the reasons why Nora had shot herself. He was tired of reliving the moment he walked through the front door and found a pool of blood on the living room floor and chunks of flesh stuck to the wall. Even though there were numerous things about Nora that he couldn't stand, he is angry and wants revenge for her death.Why was Spanish Mustang, a casino in Cripple Creek, most connected to his dead wife? Nora had hated gambling and what it did to her father, her mother and her family growing up. Cripple Creek had never shed its raucous past and revenge was something that Nathan couldn't shed.Like a ravening cancer, vengeance had turned an ordinary Nathan into an obsessive maniac, unable to think of anything else.Was Nora's death a suicide or murder? What made Nathan James want revenge? Who will he take revenge on? Will he succeed in exacting revenge?I think you will love this story and the exquisite way the author has with words and descriptions. It is my guess that when you finish this novella, you will be looking for more of Benjamin X. Wretlind's work.Jeannie Walker - Award Winning Author - "Fighting the Devil" - A True Story of Consuming Passion, Deadly Poison, and Murder
