This thrilling story The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho is set during the Cannes Film Festival amid all its glitz, glamour and "plastic" people. A spurned ex-husband, Igor, knows his ex-wife and her new husband are attending so sends "messages" to persuade her to return to him. The events take place in one day as Igor uses murder to send his "messages". He has a distorted view of the difference between "good" and "evil" which is different to the norm, but is his justification and motivation for the murders. A chilling story with some in-depth characters. The reader goes "behind the scenes" to see the artificial world of the super rich, actors and wannabes who populate this event. Another brilliant story from Coelho. 5/5Sunday, August 9, 2009
