Jochem Vandersteen "Find Her" Volume 1 of the "Mike Dalmas" digital short story series

“Find Her” marks the birth of a new digital short story new series and a new action character I really enjoy. Mike Dalmas is the character that Jochem Vandersteen has created and the universe in which he places him is interesting and dynamic. The setting is something like middle class suburbia, yet not, but the action and the hero seemed all too real and cut from today’s headlines.

Mike Dalmas is an ex-Special forces type but with a twist; the guy actually has a wife and kids and has a somewhat “normal” life. Surprise! I love that little twist. The hook in the story is that Dalmas is in debt to some police detectives because they are holding a murder he committed over his head. A murder that was “justified” by killing a truly bad guy. To pay off this debt Mike takes care of some other bad guys that are hard for the police to reach, making him a missile and a force for justice to wipe his slate clean.

Jochem Vandersteen makes this universe and character very believable, infuses him with humanity and humility that I have not seen in other “heroes”. He for me, is unique and engrossing. I just enjoyed the read. My suggestion is get in on the ground floor of this series, one of many that Trestle Press has going right now, and enjoy the action, the suspense, the balance, and the caring nature of a killer and a weapon for justice.

Here is the synopsis for you:
