Matt Tremain was an ordinary investigative blogger until he discovers a dark
secret that threatens his beloved city, Toronto. He discovers that
billionaire, Charles Claussen, who has government ties, wants to remove
the city of "undesirables". Matt must decide whether he is prepared
to deal with Charles's wraith when his plot is revealed. He must rely
on a local TV reporter and a police detective for help in keeping him
alive. Will Matt be able to stop Charles?
The
novel had an interesting premise but, not necessarily a new idea. I
thought it was an enjoyable read about how technology can be used for
both good and evil. I found the novel to be relevant in today's political atmosphere.
However, I thought the story fell flat, especially, since there was no
indicating of time being changed along with one-dimensional characters.
The novel had the backbone of something great but, sadly, it didn't
deliver for me.
