THE
COINCIDENCE
The
Coincidence is a thriller set in the future,
involving an American president and a would-be assassin. The story focuses on
an extraordinary cluster of coincidences that will keep the reader guessing as
to the resolution until the last page. Specifically, the novel focuses on a
real issue that mesmerized the world community: the destruction of monuments
and statues throughout the world, notably in the United States, the United
Kingdom, but also in Australia and other countries. This issue provides the
background for this tale of conspiracy, attempted murder, revenge, and redemption.
The novel describes and illuminates human nature exposing the misguided and the
flawed. It highlights social conditions dominated by violence and lawlessness
and explores social issues such as racial discrimination, inequality, and
possession of guns.
The
story is mainly set in Kansas City and Washington DC in the United States, and
in Sydney, Australia. Some developments in the story occur in Italy, mainly in
Florence and Macerata. The tales of the four main protagonists of this story
are intertwined, and they will eventually result in the demise of three
characters. The story also offers a short revelatory account of Christopher
Columbus, discoverer of the Americas in the 15th century, the emerging and
developing hologram technology, and American election campaigns. Additionally,
there are sections dealing with contemporary university governance and
politics. They provide a humorous distraction, while still relevant to the
development of the story, from the novel’s central themes. The interrelationships
between education, political intrigue, technology, and human relationships have
been interwoven to produce an entertaining and thought-provoking crime novel.
