<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Loretta Gilbert (editor) The description of this novel as the story of a madman who escapes from prison and the ensuing chase to catch him doesn't begin to explain the character development that comes to life through the story of Caleb in V.J. Bowen's amazing book Evil Unleashed (Mind of a Madman).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Through his escape to freedom and hiding on isolated farms, Caleb is shown to be a madman bringing death and destruction wherever he goes. However, as the novel progresses, the author shows that there is more to this madman than first meets the eye. With glimpses to his past illustrating his intense jealously of his twin brother and the internal dialogue of his struggles to control himself, the reader is gently pulled toward feeling compassion and caring for this madman.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">Toward the end of the novel especially, Caleb forms an attachment to a wolf pup and here is where the author really tugs at the reader's imagination, bringing into focus the reality that there is good and evil in everyone.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">In addition, other characters in the novel such as the law enforcement officer chasing Caleb, Michael, and his canine partner, Sasha, bring in a compelling parallel story of friendship and determination.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">I really enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it to those who enjoy crime novels as well as psychological thrillers. It is a story about a madman, so the protagonist is unconventional, but this only adds to the story's intensity.</span>
