A baseball-themed thriller for World Series season.
(Page 2 of 2)
"YOU THINK ANYONE EVER really up and quits doing the wrong
thing on their own?" an antagonist asks Hunter early on in
Mechaniks, when hope still has a
discernible pulse. At the time the answer appears ambiguous, but
as the novel progresses one of his tormentors turns to religion
and works to right the wrongs of his past. We see it answered in
the affirmative. Alas, his question proves not to be the only
pertinent one. A corresponding query might be, Can they quit
before the sin becomes unforgivable?
It is not, one presumes, an exact science.
By novel's end several of Hunter's real and imagined
interlocutors pay an irrevocable price, yet none of this redeems
Hunter or the life that once held so much promise. "It was never
suggested that Heath Hunter go to hell…" Bonazelli writes. "Even
at the end, most people knew redundant when they saw it."
