What if the homeless men going through your recycling know more about your life than you do? Like who is going to die.One of the recyclers, Dave, wearing disguises he keeps under a bridge, memorizes the information in people's bins. He, like many others, idolizes the Rescuers, a supposedly neutral, unarmed humanitarian aid group in a Balkanized country, as the possibility of WWIII looms.The Nevermind Agents lie on the evening news to garner support for proxy wars. They say the Rescuers are unarmed, neutral, and giving humanitarian aid to a Balkanized country. Their movie about them is a blockbuster. Rescuer costumes are the bit hit for Halloween.But it's time to unmask them. And that requires a plan so ingenious, even the planner can't know how it's done.Living not far away from Dave's bridge, Becky donates generously to the Rescuers, making her finances even more insecure. She doesn't know what to think when she finds things in her apartment moved slightly. The toothbrush is wet. There's a stain on the ironing board. The cat food is nearly gone. Is it her imagination? Is someone messing with her mind? Could it be Stan, breaking in because he loves her? He certainly loves putting her body into mysterious BDSM contortions for their videos. But what's that muffled moan she hears in the background when she calls him on the phone?Becky hires her friend to spy on Stan. The woman has gone underground since escaping from the Nevermind; she wears a wig, and a mask meant for burn victims. She has traveled across the country to befriend Becky, taking a chance on an anonymous message recommending she do so, though she doesn't yet know the reason. Thrills for thinkers.Mature subject matter, some rough language, creepy images, and a rousing, upbeat ending. If you like conspiracy fiction, or Mary Higgins Clark, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Mr. Robot, Girl on the Train, Shutter Island, Memento, Eyes Wide Shut, The Magus, The Manchurian Candidate, El Internado, or The Fifth Assassin, read it. "Mystery and conspiracy lovers rejoice! Standout author Tantra Bensko is back with another incredible mystery/adventure. It's a complex, intricately woven plotline that culminates in an ending that's as dark and outre as anything Stephen King ever wrote. Seriously, this book ties itself up with a d#65533;nouement so sinister, you'll be stunned."Publishers Daily Reviews
