Painted Black
By Debra R. Borys
Jo Sullivan is a reporter for a
Chicago newspaper, Winds of Change, one night she and her friend Keisha run
into a young woman who is selling herself on the streets. Keisha knows this
girl from her work with an outreach program, insisting she stop and talk to the
girl; Jo goes along and soon becomes wrapped up in a strange tale. When Lexie
disappears the reporter in Jo must find out what has happened, along the way
she soon runs into Chris a street kid who is trying his best to rescue Lexie
after he leaves her alone with a perverse mortuary attendant.
This is such an interesting story,
though this is not for everyone, there are moments when it is crass and takes
an unforgiving look at life on the streets. That being said, this is a
fantastic novel full of suspense and intrigue. Each character comes to life in
these pages making it almost impossible to put it down for even a moment as you
wonder what is going to happen to Chris and Jo. I think the author has come
across an interesting setting for an entire series of novels featuring Jo and
hopefully Chris as well, at least I hope so. The only thing I must say that it
does need a bit of editing other than that the author has certainly struck gold
with this novel.
