The Light at the End of the Tunnel

If the state kills a worst-of-the-worst criminal, does he really die? Worst-of-the-worst criminal Les Paul is on death row awaiting execution. The chaplain is trying to stop the execution, and not because of a love for mankind. Mrs. Leslie Markum in nine months will give birth to the reincarnation of evil. Ms. Nicole Waters is nursing at the hospital where the infant, Les Paul, will be abandoned. Cassandra is yet divided between her mother and father. Patrolman Sikorsky is just doing his job and hoping to advance to detective. Riley Stokes, ex-military, will train the chaplain and Nicole to become private investigators. When Cassandra is born her mother will live long enough to name her. On the same day her father will die in Afghanistan. Cassandra starts her life alone. In foster care she will fall through crack after crack, and nobody wants to adopt this darling girl child. Lacking love, she soon discovers her crying brings her nothing. She stops crying. As she grows she does not come to love, anything, and does not come to trust...anyone. So, on October 18, this little girl will be born. Halfway across the country another baby will be born on the same day, just another child who will find no love. Les Paul will find no love because he is the reincarnation of a long string of evil killers, born with the memories of each prior life, not really intact memories but memories nonetheless, and they will serve him well in his next new life. Six months after his execution Les Paul is swimming in a warm pool of amniotic fluid. Through instinct his hands realize he wants more room. He uses his twin brother's own umbilical cord to strangle him, then pushes and kicks that useless presence toward that light at the end of the tunnel. The chaplain and Nicole join forces and train at a desert survival school. Their goal is to track down the newly-born Les Paul-now rampaging through foster home after foster home-and prove that this child, now nine-years-old, is truly the reincarnation of Les Paul, worst-of-the-worst criminal. Reviews: 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars The Light at the End of the Tunnel is enlightening and enthralling., February 22, 2012 By Rhonda Lytle (Liverpool, TX United States) This review is from: The Light at the End of the Tunnel (A Supernatural Thriller) (Kindle Edition) This book is engrossing. It's not what I would call a warm, fuzzy type of read, but rather a real glimpse into some of the major issues facing society such as the atrocities committed upon children, consequences of the death penalty, and the ever declining social conditions regarding families and relationships in general all wrapped up in some addicting fiction. The author, James W. Nelson, has an easy to read style that makes putting the book down difficult. His characters are rich, the storyline multi-layered, and the action moves at a good pace. One of the things I really enjoyed was that it was not predictable at all and there were surprises all the way up to the very end. I feel he has earned an all around five stars! **** 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Un-put-downable, absolutely gripping!, February 10, 2012 By Sexy Eyes (Kingston, Jamaica) Verified Purchase(What's this?)
