Someone Else's Life by Kevin J Simington

Much more than a simple detective story, this is a complex portrayal of a good man who is pushed to extraordinary limits.

A mysterious case of identity switching turns deadly when struggling private investigator, John Targett, becomes involved. As John seeks to unravel one mystery, he is also forced to deal with an escalating menace when he becomes the target of a vicious gang whose path he has crossed. As the twin plots intertwine and the threats escalate, John is forced to take extreme measures to protect his daughter and fight for his own life. Plagued by his own demons and trying to raise his daughter alone, this is a beautifully crafted story of the lengths to which one man will go to protect those he loves. At times tender, filled with sparkling wit and peppered with edge-of-your-seat action, this is a multi-facetted mystery that will satisfy on many levels.


REVIEWS:

An incredible thriller with the perfect twist I adored this book. John Targett is my newest character crush Someone Else's Life delivers on every front. It's delightful, witty, dangerous, and thought-provoking. The danger level is high throughout the novel, constantly raising the stakes and potentially making the reader breathless as events unfold. It's thrilling, and absolutely ends on the best possible note. Kat Cohen, Reviewer.


Wow - this book is so much FUN Great characters and a high-octane story that rips along until the twist you won't see coming on the last page. John Targett is an impressive new hero - tough and yet tender; highly skilled and often very funny. His laugh-out-loud interactions with his teenage daughter were one of my highlights. Darren Box, Amazon Review.


A fast-paced easy read. Action packed with lots of twists and interesting characters, and clever humour. First time I've finished a book in a week. Couldn't put it down Rob McKeown, Amazon Review.

Simington, Kevin J.: - Kevin J Simington is a highly acclaimed writer whose fiction and non-fiction books have been lauded for their intelligence, wit and captivating writing style. He is a sought after keynote speaker who regularly speaks at conferences in the areas of philosophy, science and apologetics. He also writes for several magazines. Kevin lives on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, and has a wide range of interests. These include squash (he's pretty good), running (he's very fit), golf (he's very bad), surfing (he thinks he's pretty good, so let's not spoil his fantasy), bike riding, tennis and music (he plays guitar in a covers rock band). He lives on a small farm (55 acres) with his wife and his daughter and her family. Together they have 1 cat, 3 dogs, 6 sheep, 10 pigs, 12 ducks, 100 cattle, 1,800 chickens and 1 horse. Kevin's main contribution to farm work is patting the horse and the dogs. Kevin has been an avid science fiction reader for over 40 years and cut his teeth reading the classics - Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, E. E. 'Doc' Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K Dick, Orson Scott Card and many others. He has a passionate interest in cosmology and astrophysics, and is still waiting for NASA to call him up to join the astronaut program. After working for many years as a teacher and lecturer, in 2016 he quit to become a full-time writer, and soon published three very successful non-fiction books in the areas of philosophy, theology and apologetics. In 2019 he turned his hand to his long-held passion of science fiction, and the StarPath trilogy was born. Kevin has a fun-loving, laconic nature, and this comes through in his writing. His books are written with wit and warmth, and his characters are bursting with personality.
