Tempted by Trouble

It all started in Detroit. Dmytryk Knight did everything right. Educated man, full of dreams ready to turn them into reality. Then he lost his corporate job, no worries get a job on the line at the auto factory. Met Cora, got married and started their new life together. Then they both lost their jobs and it becomes a dream deferred with a dose of crime filled reality. In the end what we thought we knew about the person before the mayhem turns out to be a fantasy turned reality in the end. I can tell you it doesn’t end well.

Reviewer’s note: If you are an EJD fan and remember the work of Gideon, then this book is disappointing. It is not to say it isn’t good work but it taps at a reality we all can relate to. It wasn’t an easy read for me because it was kind of predictable but I kept with it because I became attach to the character Dymtryk. I think deep down inside we always want to pull for the underdog.
