INVISIBLE DEAD

SAM WIEBE

Sam Wiebe is an impressive writer. I absolutely loved his first novel, Last of The Independents. As soon as I started it, I wanted him to draft another book. And he just did, writing another moody, atmospheric, grey, and pensive novel, Invisible Dead.

It takes place in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The plot is initially straight forward. A girl went missing a long time ago. Dave Wakeland, an earnest P.I. wants to find out what happened to the missing girl. Unfortunately, more than a few people, both good and evil, do not want her found. We accompany Dave as he deals with Vancouver’s meanest, deadliest, and scummiest. This is what being a P.I. is like. No glamour, girls, and glitz. Just hard-nosed reality in all its glory and gloom.

How Dave carries himself propels the reader rapidly through the story. Take a day or two to familiarize yourself with Dave Wakeland, a P.I. that has lived through a lot but can still talk about it. Once you read Invisible Dead you will cheer and root for another outstanding Dave Wakeland novel. I know I will.
