˃˃˃ A tightly-plotted, very well-executed thriller

The Revenge of Adam Defoe is a tale of human nature - greed, envy, jealousy and revenge. The main characters are 21st century people dealing with the issues of today in a world of consumerism, ambition and moral turpitude, but the moral of the tale is not smug or trite; it is human, thoughtful, and spiritual.
