"Show Game", by Steve Anderson



Is it payback for harm done or justice rendered?

Stepping away from historical fictions Mr. Anderson gives us a new look into his creativity by thrusting us in a mind game. “Show Game” is as psychological thriller doing exactly that.

The story in a few words:

A vigilante known by the alias “Alex” takes a predatory priest, a double-dealing politician and a fraudulent philanthropist all of them transgressors captive and has ways of making them confess on camera for the entire world to witness. Alex knows what they have done and Show Game will expose them for all to see....vengeance is sweet....and the game is on. Enjoy this tale that blends intrigue and mystery.

My thoughts:

This story is fast-paced and quite thought provoking. It brings out topics quite relevant today and is said with deep feelings. I like this twisted game of confession with this vigilante taking justice into their own hands, forcing abusers into a confession while playing a game. When Owen Tanaka, an investigative reporter, determined to unmask the vigilante comes in play....undecided whether to stop this criminal mastermind or not...Definitely we are into an exciting game, one that gives us a heart-pounding ride till the very end. The imagery is vivid and will stay in mind for some time after the closing page, writing my thoughts I still picture the sequences frame by frame...This story is well said and the presentation well-done. With this new direction Mr. Anderson proves his ability to give us even difficult subjects.

Thank you Mr. Anderson
