What impressed me most about this book? Very cool - SINS OF DARKNESS is a conspiracy thriller that has both a worthy (and disturbingly plausible) conspiracy and all the elements of a fine suspense thriller in its own right. And Ill admit to some bias going in to this one - Ive long been intrigued by the conundrums found within Robert Kennedys murder (the evidence for conspiracy is well documented in nonfiction books elsewhere), so Mr. Musgraves fictionalized treatment of the material grabbed me from the moment I read the back cover. Perhaps the timing is extra good for SINS OF DARKNESS. The Lords Avengers anti-Semitic aspects are suddenly much more upfront and "realistic" now than, say, six months ago. A single worldwide network with religious cultish trappings - combined with what we know of the major political assassinations of the 20th century, the ClAs MK-ULTRA and other mind-control experimentation - might have been comic book stuff just a few years ago, but at least here its all reasonably and suspensefully set up. (For balance, the "convention of conspiracy addicts" is a nice touch.) Dr. William Joseph Bryan is a believable menace, and one wonders how many people like him are really out there. The research seems rock solid, and is grafted onto a crackerjack plot with a terrific protagonist in Dr. Solomon (my thanks for not concocting yet another Male Superhero protag a la Tom Clancy here). So. What impresses me most about SINS OF DARKNESS is its remarkably seamless blend of fact and fiction. Via Dr. Solomon, I learned a great deal about Sirhan Sirhans side of things, and theres enough research layered on top of the crackshot suspense thriller plot to keep conspiracy experts pleased indeed. This one should find a large and enthusiastic audience.
