‘Surviving Karma’ 3rd authentic pro delivers

REVIEW: SURVIVING KARMA is the second installment in Mark Nistor’s contemporary, adult WHERE’S YOUR KARMA psychological police thriller. SURVIVING KARMA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for backstory and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several third person perspectives SURVIVING KARMA focuses on the hunt for a killer. Someone is targeting members of the LAPD. A new informant who specializes in computer gaming is the only person able to trace the movements and possible motive. But with his wife on protection duty, detective Ray Rix finds himself on a solo journey that may cost him his life. Someone else may be aiding the unknown suspect, someone who is getting close to the LAPD.

Once again, the world building is detailed but easy to follow as vengeance is the ultimate motive for a perceived betrayal by the LAPD. As real life imitates art, the reality of the situation can be viewed behind a gaming console for the world to see, until they no longer are able.

The diverse secondary and supporting characters are energetic and desperate, determined and dogged. From officers, informants and FBI Agents, family, witnesses and gangbangers, the tenacity of a desperate man threatens the lives of the LAPD, vengeance against an officer for destroying his life.

SURVIVING KARMA is a dark, gritty and dramatic story of betrayal and vengeance, madness and murder, obsession and delusion, friendships and survival that is reminiscent of the television series The Wire™ with the action, characters, and story telling.
