REVIEW: CHALLENGING KARMA is the first installment in Mark Nistor’s contemporary, adult WHERE’S YOUR KARMA, psychological police thriller.

Told from several third person perspectives , following numerous intersecting paths CHALLENGING KARMA focuses on a consummate game of murder. Four wealthy businessmen known as the four Cornerstones are bored, and the ultimate high blends murder with intrigue in an abstract game of winner takes all, a game predicated upon four letters, four innocuous clues, a local politician, corruption, vengeance, ketamine and the high of the kill. As LA Detective Ray Rix works diligently to solve the crime, similarities to a past case emerge; bodies amass, as the game becomes more daring and deadly, a serial killer bent on vengeance lies in wait, staking out his next pawn-the perfect killer, the perfect murder.

The world building is complex, detailed, somewhat confusing at times, and meticulous in its’ presentation. As the paths converge, a pattern emerges, a suspect drawn, and the ultimate game of cat and mouse ends The clues are cryptic; the characters are dubious and unethical; the search for the truth never reveals the reality of a new player in the game.

CHALLENGING KARMA is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies, wealth and madness. The premise is comprehensive, multi-layered and intriguing; the character are diverse, unconventional and determined.
