A typical Tuesday morning begins with an embittered, mentally ill man making his way to do his weekly shopping. Everything seems normal, even his gross abuse of everyone around him especially including the store manager, when the day crashes down with the entrance of organized criminals intent on the heist. As the robbery begins to spin out of control and violence ensues, our nameless hero rises to the occasion to do what must be done to save himself and incidentally, others. Although he saves the day the actions leave him mentally crushed, incapacitated, and unconscious. Tony Kincaid is a skilled detective who puts the good of the many above the needs of the few including his own family. He is driven to discover this hero’s identity and bring the men to justice who would victimize a young woman. Richard is a struggling reporter whose own bouts with depression, indulgence, and self-medication fuel a desire to report stories that will be uplifting. When Tony tells him of the nameless hero, Richard decides this could be the story to impress his boss, drive his readership and save his job. Tony’s wife, Trudy, has grown increasingly sick of Tony’s loyalty to his drunkard, slovenly friend. She loves Tony deeply, but knows that Tony is loyal to a fault, struggling to be the man of true virtue whose concerns of loyalty, love and true friendship are central to his self-identity. Trudy knows that it is time for Tony to put his family first and cut out the cancerous leech, named Richard. In spite of Trudy’s objections and pleading, Tony simply cannot abandon his friend as he struggles, although admittedly, the struggle never seems to end with Richard. Together, Richard and Tony seek to identify this unknown hero but as the investigation moves forward it quickly snowballs into a debacle of circumstance and poor judgement. In the end, it will be this that will put Tony and everyone he loves to an unrelenting test. Justifiable Herocide is an exercise in perspective within a classic crime novel while critically analyzing the classical Hero Archetype. The traits of heroism are explored while questioning the need for the hero to be all of the characteristics most often deemed necessary to be called, Hero. Each character represents aspects of the Hero archetype but intentionally incomplete. Tony is the virtuous, loving, dutiful man whose idea of a good person, inside the societal construct, clouds his judgment and threatens to collapse his own place within it. The character of Richard challenges the idea that people with emotional or substance issues are incapable of heroic acts or that one must be wholesome in order to be a good person. Trudy is the wise benevolent mother, who attempts to temper Tony’s overt idealism and challenge his philosophies of the socially construct, including good friendship, fatherhood, manliness, and finally heroism. By contrast the unknown hero of the grocery store robbery, forces the reader to ask themselves the question of whether a vitriolic person who saves others while motivated only to save themselves constitutes an actual heroic action. Is intention a necessary component of heroism?

This story provides an interesting play on the power of perception. The author explores many writing techniques, and keeps each character compelling, in their own right. "Compelling" is absolutely the best description of this entire work, and that is really what you want out of any story, isn't it? This certainly is not bed-time-story-for-the-children material, but it never delves too far into the grotesque. Every character in this book has their own voice. Some characters, I hate; others, I tolerate. That is the beauty of this novel: you do not have to like -- nor agree with -- any of the characters, and it still draws you in, and forces you to find out how it all ends. One of the more amazing aspects of this work is that the book you finish reading may not be the book you began...Product details

Justifiable herocide A Evan Whitwell 9781519253927 Books Reviews
You will not like the main character with his snarky comments and over-the-top germ hang ups. Keep reading and learn about a real stand up kind of guy that you'll want in your corner. The other characters are developed with back stories so well crafted that you'll swear their stories could happen to you.
I was there when Evan started this. I proof read the first few chapters. This is a thinking person's novel. It is a police procedural and a question about the very nature of man. It is his first novel and it is magnificent.
Great read!
Just started reading today but can't put it down. Great suspense novel. Wonderfully developed characters.
Definitely recommend it. A.Evan Whitwell...when is your next book released? I want it.

Wow... This novel is unlike anything I've ever read! The "rawness" of the storytelling made every character surprisingly relatable in their own unique way. On the surface, the story seems straightforward and you are compelled to continue reading to vindicate your assumptions. However, by the end you're head will be spinning with questions and starved for answers! I can not wait for what's to come!
As the chapters speed by it would be easy to think this is a straight forward crime novel. Do not be fooled. The twists are not simple and the story is more than meets the eye. Each chapter adds insight and questions until the underlying issue is revealed. The surprises are both chilling and encouraging so find a comfortable spot to curl up with this book.
In every portion of this book I felt as if I was in the middle of every scene. A Evan Whitwell is phenomenal at describing scenes and people's personalities and he gives in-depth insight about all the characters. His use of metaphors and similes is simply amazing and really made the story that much more memorable. I could not believe he was able to get so much information into a story in only ~220 pages (double-spaced!). The plot connects all the characters together in one way or another and practically every scene is captivating. The one scene that I found not to be captivating ultimately served as background to a memorable finish to the story. You will surely analyze the scenes of this book throughout your day when you are not reading. I will definitely read this book again.
