Griffin Knight is a New York City detective who went to Seattle to help Kalyx solve a murder case. Kalyx is a hacker who wants to know the culprit behind Dylan Walker's death—her boyfriend. She gives Griffin instructions for his lodging and the discreet details of his work through the internet only. Dylan Walker, who is also a hacker, discovered the anomaly in the Colossus company, but he is anxious to tell Sapphire Rushland, the CEO. Someone is stealing a huge amount of money from the company. He manages to trace the money transactions to several accounts and one account leads to Brutus. Brutus is a well-known violent gang leader of the "Killer Owls" in Seattle. Will the detective unlock the murder mystery of Dylan? How?

A Colossal Injustice by Miguel Angel Hernandez Jr. is a fast-paced tale in the crime, mystery, and thriller genres that can be read within a couple of hours. It's a short read with compact details of the mystery—in the crime scene, in the investigation, and in the character development. Readers will not guess the villain as the story progresses because the culprit in Dylan's murder is quite unpredictable.

The most likable aspects I like in this book are the absence of profane words and erotic scenarios, which are rare in this type of genre. Excellently, within the short pages, the plot is well-developed with its stunning characters. The scenarios are always in upbeat mode like when Griffin and Felix (Dylan's old friend) face to face with the gang leader and when they encounter the fierce dogs in an old factory. Moreover, the book is written smoothly without any errors, so this book is exceptionally well edited.

The only thing I least like a little bit is the underdeveloped political connection of Sapphire and Brutus, but it doesn't affect my ratings of 5 out of 5 stars. I was excited at how the hackers work, somewhat I can relate to the IT experts being explain in this book. Plus, Griffin and Felix's 'mutual friend' add a thrilling effects when they went to Brutus, to find a clue of Dylan's murder. This scenario reminds me that, truly, in this generation, we can't hide anymore because of the use of advanced technology. Most of all, I enjoyed reading every scenario of Sapphire Rushland because the way the author describes her amuses me. Lastly, there are things that are quite interesting, like the wine and the flashlight.

This book is suitable for someone who is fond of short thriller stories, especially to avoid boredom in long traffic or boarding a plane. Those who enjoy reading a detective novel will appreciate this book. A little precaution to young teens because it includes a bisexual relationship and murder, of course.

How does a book of this nature not have erotic content or vulgar content? I'm already eager to read it.

I’m very glad to hear about the novel’s lack of erotic content. I always find tat unnecessary. I do agree that it is almost impossible to hide anything in today’s world, but that can be remedied by not doing anything that needs hiding.

A well-constructed thriller in which the technological element is crucial is intriguing for me, also thinking about how difficult is to hide what you do in a social world. Thank you for your great review!
