Description
A SUPERB THRILLER, BUILT WITH WATCHMAKER'S PRECISION, WHOSE ABSORBING PLOT IS FOLLOWED VORACIOUSLY AND INVITES REFLECTION.
In a pension on the Greek island of Naxos, a former Serbian army officer, the perpetrator of all sorts of atrocities during the Bosnian war, is found dead with clear signs of torture. Next to the corpse is a flower, a Narcissus. Denis Martel,
an aging Interpol French inspector is, reluctantly, assigned to the case.
Thousands of miles away, Adrian Seaten a billionaire and arrogant executive is driving back from shooting a TV commercial with Laura, an employee from his advertising agency, when they have an accident. Two mysterious men will come to their
rescue. We cut to an episode from Adrian’s past, on Harvard University’s campus, during the celebrations of graduation night. He is partying with three other students, abusing drugs and alcohol but the night will take a sinister turn.
In "The Nemesis Factor”" these plots, seemingly far from each other, run in parallel, intersect and finally converge, trapping the reader in an original and cinematic thriller that will pose more than one moral dilemma and will keep you hooked until its surprising outcome.

The Nemesis Factor by Inaki Martin Velasco – 5 Stars
Publisher: Books Go Social

Excellent novel that is well presented and delivers increasing interest and intrigue the longer you read. It was impossible to put this book down. It starts out with a tale of a loving family’s yacht exploding. The last few paragraphs of the Prologue then let you wonder whether this was just a dream of some American who was on drugs.
Suspense continues with main characters Adrian and Laura returning from a movie shoot and flying off a cliff onto the shoreline of an inescapable island vacated by two very mysterious South Americans who rescue them. Flavio and Paul keep them alive and provide give them a rustic “vacation” for many weeks before their mysterious associates arrive to evacuate them. Drugging Adrian and Laura before the evacuation leaves them with no knowledge of where they are once again deserted and by whom or why.
Meanwhile another tale is spinning with an Interpol agent Denis and his research expert Sylvie who begin investigating the hanging of an ex-Bosnian army individual now minus all his extremities. He discovers several other suspicious murders in his investigation, all eventually tied together by some common thread which he continually pursues from Europe to Harvard University until he is told the case is abruptly closed by his superiors for reasons that are classified. He relentlessly ignores the orders to cease and begins to connect some of the other characters and learns … well, you’ll just have to read this to find out.
What I can tell you is that we are informed that Justice is beyond the formal laws and order we normally follow. The author also suggest that this entire book is just an introduction of the new Justice and that the characters will continue their ventures to further define what is right. I am on board and want to continue reading more and more of any series written. I am a believer now that myths really guide Justice more than any written laws and also drive the appropriate order to enforce it.

The novel has an intricate plot with many layers. It's a fast paced book that keeps the reader engaged. I enjoyed the book.
I read this in a couple of days,good story,a lot going on.Got a little confused in the beginning
but as I got further in all the characters fell into place.Liked the writing style,good flow, couldn't
wait till the next chapter to see what was happening with other characters.
