Nobody
By Creston Mapes
Review by Cheri Clay
 

 

 

  

Chester Holte has been gunned down, and in a pool of blood is where Las Vegas Review Journal reporter Hudson Ambrose finds him. From all outward appearances Chester seems to have been a homeless man, but, not waiting for the police, Ambrose decides to search the dead man for an ID. What he finds astonishes him: a bankbook with a balance of almost a million dollars and what looks like a bank key. In a split second Hudson decides to take the items, and bizarre and strange twists of events sets him on a course that will change his life forever.

He discovers that Chester seemed to be an angel to the homeless community who are rocked by his death, especially Holly Queens, formally of the streets herself. The deeper Hudson Ambrose goes, the more everything leads to a dirty cop who is no stranger to the homeless. And just who is the strange man that continues to call Ambrose, seeming to know the truth about Chester’s death? 

Whoa! God is all over this awesome suspense novel! Author Creston Maples is to be commended for the outstanding job he has done on Nobody! This page turner reads like no other suspense novel.

Chester’s life is based on the poem “I Stand by the Door” by Samuel Shoemaker, which is awesome in itself, but the reader will come away a changed person as you can’t help but see yourself in the mirror of Ambrose Hudson with the desire to be more like Holly Queens or Chester Holte. Excellent for study groups with questions included in the back of the book or to ponder upon yourself. A definite read for suspense lovers whether Christian or not, as the book would definitely make an excellent witnessing tool for the unsaved. What ever you do don’t miss Nobody, as it is a definite must read!
