The Object of Evil (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

'Is evil an entity, or is evil a state of mind?' The reader is deceived throughout. Daryl Tempest is head of operations for Snath International in San Diego. Simon Snath’s unrelenting tyranny, unethical business dealings, and obsessive womanizing challenge Daryl to the limits of his patience. At the suggestion of a friend, Daryl unwittingly summons evil accomplices to deal with his boss. In an open-air marketplace in Mexico, a masterfully crafted object of evil encounters Daryl, making him its protégé. As evil begins to take control, Daryl discovers he is being framed for larceny and fraud by a mentally deranged employee and Simon Snath, who are complicit in the crimes. Upon learning of his being framed, Daryl’s developing desire for vindication becomes an obsession for revenge and he masterfully devises a clandestine scheme of revenge that is so quiescently outrageous, it is satanic. Daryl will stop at nothing to eradicate Simon Snath. In so doing, the Evil participating with Daryl drives him to destroy the quintessence of innocence and beauty. With the renowned Hotel Del Coronado as a backdrop, and after a playfully steamy soiree at the hotel, the famed ghost of the hotel, Kate Morgan, is destined to repeat her tragedy. A cast of evil personae appears again and again, in different roles throughout, skillfully directing Daryl in his evil pursuits. Simon Snath finds himself blamed as the perpetrator of crimes and the victim of Evil. In a gruesome waterfront accident, Evil exacts its revenge. But now Evil is unleashed; whether a living entity or a state of mind, it will not be contained as it seeks another revenge.
