SHaDOW GAME

by Darryl Sollerh

When Jarret, a seasoned assassin agrees to do one last “hit” in Indonesia, and discovers his hands have gained the power to heal, his carefully planned, secret world is thrown into chaos. Desperate to understand what’s happening to him, he seeks out a local mystic, a Dalang of the spiritual Shadow Puppet Theater and his mysterious, mesmerizing daughter, only to soon find himself healing the sick of Jakarta’s slums by night, while by day, planning his hit on the very political reform candidate dedicated to helping them — driving Jarret to a mental, emotional and spiritual crisis from which there is no escape, save the Shadow Game.

“Riveting and action packed…a dramatic fiction about violence, betrayal and life lived as a shadow…It takes some brilliance in writing for an author to bring together these two worlds…and make them work in a way that offers up a Buddhist lesson on the soul of a man…You don’t want to put it down!” S. Marie Vernon, PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW

“The writing is powerful and mesmerizing, and drags the reader into the story, putting you right at the center of this struggle between good and evil.” Shirley Hicks, AMAZON REVIEWS

“I could not put it down…a quick, thrilling read. Excellent!” Savannah Mae, REBECCA’S READS, CHOICE AWARD WINNER
