Evil, Be Gone

Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Review: I have to say from the onset of this review that Mr. Estko's novel "Evil, Be Gone" is
truly a readers delight.
Drawing you into the story from page one, the author quickly assimilates you with John Lelankevitch the main character.

John or Lilly, as you will soon find yourself calling him, is a good man, a man of strength and character, but one that in his past committed certain acts on behalf of his country; acts that haunted him deep in the recesses of his mind. But that was behind Lilly now, as he made a new life with his wife and son, or was it?

William Randolph Pritchett wanted his son in the White House and would stop at nothing to see that achieved. That was his dream and he would make it happen. When his son's wife decides she has had enough of her husbands affairs and bowing to his controlling father, she announces her intentions to divorce her husband. This could not happen at a worse time, as public
opinion would turn against William Randolph Pritchett IV and he would never win the election.

Father Pritchett was not about to let this happen and devises a plan using the kidnapping of Lilly's young son as a controlling devise, to make Lilly bring his plan to fruitation. The plan was dark and evil and would involve Kidnapping and killing the Senators wife in hopes of swaying public opinion and win the election.

Lilly only killed to rid the world of evil, never had he killed the innocent; would he begin now, to save his son? The pressure was on!

There are many twists and turns to this chilling novel. I breathed a sigh of relief when Lilly's son was rescued, only to moan when his wife took his place as the captured. Who was betraying Lilly and why? Emotions covering father-son relationships, friends, husband and wife
are all dealt with as you ride along the journey of this story. It held my interest from beginning to end. A very good suspense
novel, with some interesting turn of events
that will surprise you.

Good read!

Summary: Way More than a Thriller...
Review: Not only is "Evil, Be Gone" an exciting mystery/thriller that introduces a new hero to the genre, but the book also delves expertly into the themes of friendship and father-son relationships. Friendships, as "Evil, Be Gone" portrays such valued relationships, can run the gamut from loyalty to betrayal. Additionally, three different father-son relationships are contrasted and make you think about the sons that fathers create. Finally, the main protagonist, Col. John "Lilly" Lelankevitch, walks a psychological tightrope when it comes to good versus evil. This is one highwire act well worth your time!
