Rosenberg Proves there is "No Shortage of Evil"

Amey Tippett

FBI Special Agent Donald Corbitt's life is as bleak and empty as the apartment in which he barely lives. Confronted with a corporate scandal, a series of murders, and bomb threats, Corbitt is forced to examine terrorism in all of its forms, and also to reconstruct the thoughts and actions of killers in order to anticipate their moves. And, yet, despite all of this, our hero seems to have the blanket of hope pulled around his shoulders.

As he discovers new clues about the evil which surrounds him, Corbitt also manages to meet, and become interested in, his colleague Jocelyn Hafner. This sweet relationship provides a contrast to Corbitt's professional life, causing him to contemplate the recipe for the delicacy known as "Happiness Soup." This perfectly spiced dish is one that keeps our hero, and the reader, from falling into the despair that would cloud the minds of most people.

Debut author David S Rosenberg (http://www.drosenbergsbooks.com/)tackles several difficult subjects in his post 9/11 world of terrorists and federal agents. This wild ride of suspense is tempered nicely by humorous and even romantic moments that are masterfully woven into the plot. Although he has an unmistakable talent for plot creation, it is Rosenberg's characterization that shines through the entire novel. This nail-biting adventure is full of people that the reader is sure can be touched, if only one could reach into the pages in order to do so. I found myself not only seeing these people in my mind, but hearing them as well. Getting lost in this book is a must, and I look forward to reading the sequel to No Shortage of Evil.
