A damaged addict has a premonition that finding the killer of his friend will bring him his own end..

Excerpts from the many customer reviews: (please read the full reviews at Amazon product page)

"This is not a "fluff" novel. It's a glorious "thinker". Mr. Fenn and his book will take a bite out of your mind..."

"This is a fantastic read. A beautifully crafted work of art. It's not a book to read to your kids at night, but it is real. Very very real. And very very good."

"Simon Fenn lives in Australia, often called Oz. How appropriate - he's a true wizard in the art of storytelling. "

"..That, dear reader is the definition of a Masterpiece. Get it. Read it. Live with it. Think about it. Read it again. "

"Don't miss this amazing book by an amazing writer.."

"Simon Fenn gives the reader a massive gift with Parable of the Forgotten. It is not a gift wrapped in bright shiny paper and satin bows, but it is a gift nonetheless. ...a gift which needs to be opened soon; much before the other pretties in the TBR pile."

"The plot, by the way, will keep the reader up late wanting to solve things along with Jarvis.....I know I will return for future books by Fenn. I get the feeling that he is on the brink of breaking into a top sellers' list."

"I laughed at something on almost every page as Jarvis is on his journey to solve the mystery."

"I have never read anything like this before. It was fantastic from start to finish, with a WTF twist. "

"The intensity of the story wore me out (just the way we like our stories to be told)! And I've picked up quite a bit of Australian slang. Some of which isn't appropriate here! Buy his friggin' book! "

"I admit I was hesitant to pick it up at first, but once I started it, I didn't want to stop... Simon Fenn is an author to read now and to watch for in the future... It's a rare book that I'll read twice, but I'm looking forward to revisiting the world as Jarvis sees it. "

"... stunning for its suspense, cleverness and reality. Its twisted humor, raw language and heavy drug use only make the novel more engaging. This is Jarvis, and you can't help but love him. "

"Wonderfully rounded and real characters, sharp in your face dialogue, a terrific plot and a humdinger of an ending. An instant classic. "

"Simon Fenn's novel vibrates with the grittiness of a life that few would ever hope or choose to experience first hand."

"Once I started reading his book, I was quickly hooked."

"I don't know who first said "there is a thin line between comedy and tragedy."......Regardless of who first recognized this truth, author Simon Fenn deftly walks that imaginary line for most of Parable of the Forgotten - An Unsuitable Mystery. "

"A great read!..... I've started reading it for a second time."

"Great, great read. ....I was certain I'd "figured it out", even feeling disappointed that it had been so obvious. But I was wrong! I underestimated the genius and masterful storytelling ability of Simon Fenn. "

"This story had me laughing out loud and then dealing with the lump in my throat brought on by its sadness ."

"Imaginative, funny, dark, and - somehow this doesn't quite cut it - 'unique'."

"The tone and pace of the story will keep you reading late into the night. Simon Fenn is a fascinating new voice in literature,"

"This book is not my typical cup of tea.....Once I got used to Jarvis's (the main character) rhythm, I was thoroughly engrossed."

"..a memorable story that will not be forgotten!"

"Mr. Fenn's deep and compelling writing drew me into the book "

"Simon Fenn is a true artist of the written word. "Parable of the Forgotten: An Unsuitable Mystery" aptly describes the storyline and Fenn's Australian slang sets the mood as a dark mystery unfolds....I've never read a book like this."
