Dillon-san, you are a very intelligent man, I am sure. But what you must always remember is that no matter whether a cow looks like a cow, and moos like a cow, and gives milk like a cow, there is no guarantee whatsoever that it is indeed a cow.

In a nutshell
Hope Rises follows Walter Nash, a man who has lost everything and reinvented himself under a new identity to infiltrate the criminal empire that destroyed his life. As he gets closer to his only goal of taking down master criminal Victoria Steers, his revenge mission becomes far more complicated—blurring the lines between justice, loyalty, and truth.
Book Club Notes
I didn’t love the writing in this book, in fact, it irritated me in parts. That said, the story itself pulled me through. It’s gripping enough, with interesting characters and just enough drama and intrigue to keep you reading. It’s not a “stay up all night” kind of book, but you will want to see it through to the end. Overall, it’s a good story with average delivery.
Read If
You enjoy easy, fast-paced thrillers and want something engaging without being too heavy.
