Overview: Samson Gallows is an average guy. He loves his wife, loses more than he wins, and lives his days in the gray zone between right and wrong.
After a junkie walks into his pawnshop with a mummified head, Samson is thrown into a downward spiral through the streets of Philadelphia, getting more blood on his hands wherever he goes.
In 24 hours, Samson learns how deep betrayal can run, how strong the bonds of love are, and that winning can sometimes require sacrificing everything—including himself.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
"Samson and Denial" from Robert Ford is gritty dark crime tale with a twist of the supernatural. This novella is easily read in a sitting or two due to its fast pace and wonderful first person narrative reminiscent of a great film noir or pulp novel of the past.
Samson runs a palm shop and deals drugs. The former brings him into the possession of what Nick–his loser, regular client–claims to be the severed head of an ancient mummy. The latter gets his brother Marky murdered soon thereafter. His ex-wife, Tia, who he still loves, goes missing also. Against all odds, he decides to take revenge against the Russian Mafia thugs responsible.
Well, maybe the odds aren’t so bad once he learns what that mummy head can do. No spoilers here.
All this excitement and wonderful character development is set against the backdrop of the streets of Philadelphia. An author’s note informs us Ford spent some time there but this is obvious in the vivid descriptions of both the city streets and many crazy street people that show up along the way. Some of them are so bizarre the reader assumes they are a product of "truth is stranger than fiction."
I highly recommend this novella of revenge and regrets. It is thrilling, darkly comic and often poignant as well, without being overly sentimental.
