Dan is a troubled man.  Penning his thoughts seems to be his primary outlet.  He refers to book one that he and his friend, Adam, had worked on together in their youth.  Book two expresses heart felt emotions between the two friends – it was Dan’s gift to Adam.  He doesn’t want to speak of book three – it is the writing he did when Adam’s wife died.  He is working on book four.  Book four is Dan’s alter ego, per se, as Luke.  For this book he is researching, personally experiencing, how he wants Luke to act and speak.  And Luke is a very dangerous individual.When I say Dan is a troubled man, I mean that he seriously needed counseling.  However, he never received counseling.  He only received mock and ridicule.  But in his mind, he didn’t always see it as such.  It’s actually a very sad story, but it does provide readers with a glimpse into the mind of a psychotic individual.This novel is a psychological thriller and the author sure knew how to keep the reader pulled along.  Dan is the protagonist, sometimes as Dan and sometimes as Luke.  It is a dark fictional work.  None of the characters were lovable, but this wasn’t about loving characters; it was about feeling raw emotions.  I have to let readers know that the content has some sexual violence and also some homosexual experience within.  I had not realized that from the brief review posted with the book.  I rated this 3 out of 5.
