Edmund Dantes begins as a regular guy trying to make enough of a living to support the love of his life, until a ruthless competitor for her affection sets him up as a criminal.

What follows is the amazing growth of Edmund from a regular guy to a mastermind of perfectly detailed revenge until he finds the justice he needs to heal the old scars.

Anyone who likes action/adventure, intrigue, revenge, character growth, and masterfully-written plots will love this novel.

The precise detail that allows such a complex plot (both on the part of the author and the main character) is inspiring and deserves to be studied by all serious writers.

I highly recommend this book. The movie doesn't do it justice.
