Review No.1 - The Man In The Black Fedora

Review No.1

The Man in the Black Fedora… by Tom Johnson

Reading this short story of crime and a crime fighter of note, the man in the black fedora was also a master of disguise. The story is for those fans who love suspense, crime and heroes who clean the streets of hoodlums, drug lords and anyone who is living outside the law. It is a great read with great characters, and it draws you in so that you don’t want to “put the book down” at all. I rate this book a 5 star for excellence and for the great story line which one follows. Here is a sample of the disguised character known as the man in the black fedora. He is disguised as an old Chinese man but evidently one can see he is already chasing no good-for-nothing men who disobey the law. Here is an excerpt…

“Entering the men’s room he smiled softly, as he noticed it was empty. In fact, this was the reason he was observing the dining room so closely. He hadn’t seen anyone coming back here for some time. Perhaps it was too early for the liquor to take effect.
A physical transformation suddenly took place, as the old gentleman straightened his bent back and walked quickly on steady feet into the interior. His glance swiftly took in the large room, alighting on a back window. He moved at once to the window while his hands worked swiftly with the cane, twisting the top easily.”

A man that reminds me of hidden objects and items used to fight crime with, in this case a cane. Jae, the hero in the black fedora was chasing after an evil drug lord Merrenneli, and one knows what happens with evil against good – they lose! A great read definitely for those who love crime suspense and heroes who lurk the city jungles fighting off crime, and at the same time a woman’s man; and with this enter the character of Kay, someone at the centre of it all. Who doesn’t love to read and sit at the couch’s edge following every step that Jae and his sidekick Rocky do to stop crime bosses from “owning” the city? Well done! Truly a remarkable read. A great book based on a story from the seventies.
