Description

A gripping fictional account of one of the United States’ worst tragedies, ‘Who Trespass Against Us’ is an emotional account of a killer's lineage and upbringing, with a surprising ending that will offer solace and comfort to all.

This is the untold story of the life and judgment of the Las Vegas shooter. A work of fiction based on actual events, Conway takes what is known, and imagines what is missing to give you a compelling narrative that answers the question “Why?”

The story begins with the dark connection to the killer’s ancestry and moves quickly into the criminal life of his father, Bingo Bruce, and his “Bonnie and Clyde” style mistress, both of whom cast long shadows over the killer’s life.

Conway keeps you on the edge of your seat as Paddock’s heinous crime races to its conclusion in a way you may not have anticipated. After the shooting, you will witness the judgment, where Paddock will face his victims and receive his sentence.

But the story does not end there, because Conway also presents the inspiring story of a young woman and her best friend, both country music fans, who journey together through life and face that dark night together.

It has been said that great storytellers use their imagination to bring order out of chaos, and in this work, D.P. Conway does not disappoint.

How do you tell a story so shocking, that it should not be real and yet burst in upon our collective consciousness just six months ago? I am talking about Stephen Paddock's one-man assault on Las Vegas from a barricaded suite at Mandalay Bay, upon a helpless crowd of Route 91 Festival fans, ending in the deaths of almost three score Americans.
"Who Trespass Against Us," by debut author D.P. Conway sets the background of a lonely and deranged childhood (from actual records and images gleaned from the hyperactive news feed) leading to a dramatic last judgment for Paddock following the tragedy. He blends his own experience into the dramatic mixture (his daughter's near miss at attending) to bring about a climactic reveal. It will give you pause to consider your own response to so many terrorist blasphemies in America' recent past. Spoiler Alert! Thornton Wilder's Emily Gibbs would be right at home with this ending.

Thankyou to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and the author, D P Conway, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of Who Trespass Against Us in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I thought this book was such a good read. Even though it is a blend of fact and fiction, the fact remains 58 people died ( not including the shooter ) and over 800 people injured senselessly.
I thought the storyline was well thought out and written. I was hooked from the start.
Well worth a read.
