Synopsis

In Jason Parent’s Unbalanced, a detective becomes embroiled in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a possible psychopath.By-the-book Detective Asante Royo can only sweep up Fall River’s filth for so long without getting dirty. When he’s called to an apparent suicide at an apartment complex notorious for its prostitution racket and drug trade, he doesn’t shed a tear for the life wasted. Yet, something about the scene haunts his thoughts, and when his investigation gets swept under the rug, he has a hard time living with its stain.Jaden Sanders is an unstable loner who lives across the hall from the crime scene. When three unarmed men break into Jaden’s apartment, he kills two of his attackers in self-defense, but he stalks and stabs the third in the back as the man flees, and it lands Jaden on trial for murder.With no clear motives for the home invasion or Jaden’s violent response, Royo must uncover the story before more people get hurt, his only leads extracted from a truly unbalanced mind. Is Jaden merely a victim being steamrolled by cold justice, or is he a murderer capable of killing again?

Goodreads review by Sherry on May 26, 2022

I love the character of Royo, and his life partner, Rickie, who is a bit flamboyant. I read about his purple Lycra pants and smiled at the picture that formed in my head. It reminds me of a couple of gay friends I had when I lived in Michigan. I have been reading about more diverse characters in the......more

Goodreads review by Steve on April 27, 2022

The last two reads from Jason that I’ve read have been both really well done, but also completely different in totally different genres. ‘The Apocalypse Strain’ was straight up Sci-Fi Horror goodness and ‘Eight Cylinders’ was a rock ‘n rolling Cosmic Horror novella. Sure sure, both were ‘horror,’ at......more

Full Disclosure – I was provided a copy of the book by the author or their representative, however, have voluntarily chosen to write a review. All opinions are my own.
