Ian Thomas is beloved around the world as the singer/songwriter of such smash hits as Painted Ladies; Hold On, and Right Before Your Eyes, along with hits written for Santana, Chicago, Manfred Mann and America. Now the creative force that gave us so many classic hit songs has turned to novel writing - and what a novel: Bequest tells the story of a Canadian-American university professor beset with visions of dire things past, present and future; of death and tragedy and dark secrets hidden in the American countryside. Thomas breathes life into his characters and keeps heart rates soaring as he skilfully takes the plot through unexpected twists and turns and masterfully builds tension to the breaking point. "I couldn't put the damn thing down... tightly crafted... lots of pithy observations on life, sexual relations, ethics, morality and politics... action-packed and fast-moving - I wish I owned the movie rights - enjoy the ride!" - From the Foreword by Murray McLauchlan

I met Ian Thomas last summer at a Summer Solstice concert at a winery in the Niagara area. He is a well known singer/songwriter and is trying his hand at writing novels.
I enjoyed the book, it kept my interest all the way through. It is about a man, a university professor, who has "the sight." He uses this gift, also seen as a curse, to solve the mystery of his father's untimely death, which involved a large firm that was buying up property for dump sites of chemical waste, under the guise of doing good things for small farming communities.
It felt like the author used far too many cliches, mostly in the first half of the book. And the fact that "the sight" gave all the clues for the mystery to be solved, seemed a bit too convenient for me. But, despite these complaints, I really did enjoy the story and all the elements of seeing a big nasty firm get cut off at the knees!
