Conspiracies by F. Paul Wilson, 11 hrs., 33 min., 317 pages
This is the third book in the Repairman Jack series. Jack's screening process has evolved with the times. He now screens through e-mail and voicemail. Technology is also making it harder to stay under the radar.
He is working two cases, both of which he has taken on reluctantly. One involves a brother trying to help his sister who is a victim of domestic abuse. Jack usually doesn't get involved in those kinds of cases but commits to at least investigating. As he feared things get complicated.
The other one is the main case. A man's wife has gone missing right before she is about to reveal a major discovery that explains conspiracy theories. Through mysterious means she has contacted her husband and told him that Jack is the only one that can help. Is someone trying to prevent her from revealing her findings or is something else going on? And is this case somehow related to events in Jack's past?
There were parts of this book that I liked but I wasn't satisfied with the reveal and the ending. Overall, I liked this book the least of the first three books in the series. It could be that the horror/supernatural element is not my favorite.
