October 11, 2000: I've just read this startling new novel by Ron Dondiego entitled A Wicked Twist of Fate and was utterly mesmerized by its pages. I found it to be a gripping short novel about a man who makes an evil decision after having been disappointed in love. In a desperate attempt to salvage his life the main character, Jerry Brenner, commits a triple murder most foul. He is convinced that through these murders he will gain both wealth and prestige. This indeed he gains, but of course there are those inevitable twists and turns that make for great reading. Also, there is a startling ending that Alfred Hitchcock would have loved to film. More than this I won't say. But I will say that Dondiego also manages to create a vivid mental movie of New York in the late forties with the magic of his pen.
