It all started with a murder . . . now there’s no turning back . . .

For the past decade, police homicide consultant Mark Gilliam has been wasting his life with corpses, drugs, and alcohol. Things weren’t always like this. Ten years ago, he was a soldier, a husband, a . . . father. But it’s what he deserves. He couldn’t protect his son from the monsters that took him away.

For the past decade, Jason Roneros has been living a reclusive life, forced to spend the rest of his days in isolation. Things weren’t always like this. Ten years ago, he was a well-respected author, a fighter, a . . . dreamer. But it’s what he deserves. He trusted these monsters.

For the past decade, Mark and Jason haven’t seen each other.
But everything is about to change . . .

A murder brings them together one night, trapping them in the streets of Chicago in search of redemption down a cryptic path that could unlock the darkest scandal in history. As the path unrolls secrets buried in great works of art and philosophical writings, the shadiest aspects of the human soul come to the surface. Soon, the two men realize that those hunting them, closing in with each passing minute, are equally dangerous as the ghosts of the past . . .

Review

"All the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat . . . The tension builds up to an unexpected climax which I did not see coming, and it was a big surprise to me."
--Readers' Favorite review by Alma Boucher (five-star review)

"I would rate it 5 stars. The final-final reveal is shocking to me and downright masterful! This novel sits firmly as one of my favorite reads in the last few months, and likely of this year."
--Andrea Marks-Joseph, Independent Book Review

"Strap in and prepare for the ride of your life . . ."
--Amazon reviewer

"A mind-blowing philosophical thriller . . . a shocking plot twist! One of the most complex, thought-provoking, and ambitious books I've ever read."
--Goodreads reviewer

"Wow, what a story . . . The Firm mixed with The Da Vinci Code . . ."
--LibraryThing reviewer

"I couldn't turn the pages fast enough . . . hard to believe it is a debut novel. There are surprises galore - twist and turns - hold-your-breath moments - I loved it all! I really enjoy not being able to pick the ending of a story and this book delivered that in spades. I certainly didn't see the ending coming. "
--Books Go Social

"A relentless, character-driven thriller set on the unforgiving streets of Chicago, The Rebirth is an unpredictable spree of vengeance, brotherhood, and justice. Sharp writing, damaged characters, intense twists, and a gritty setting make this novel an emotional and dramatic read that is highly recommended."
--Self-Publishing Review

"V.P. Evans delivers excitement at every turn in this tense thriller novel, which starts with a gripping and intriguing premise before ramping up its murderous twists and turns with each new discovery. Overall, The Rebirth is a work that offers both food for thought and high-stakes thrills, wrapped up in a highly recommended read."
--Readers' Favorite review by K.C. Finn (five-star review)

"V.P. Evans creates a multifaceted story that draws on different levels . . . Its special brand of mysticism, psychological discovery, interpersonal interactions, and close inspections of monsters and men makes it a highly recommended read for a broad audience."
--D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"The Rebirth will hold the reader's interest."
--Affaire de Coeur Magazine

"The Rebirth can best be described as a cross between The Da Vinci Code and Rule By Secrecy. What sets The Rebirth apart is the incorporation of historic reasoning and its inclusion of the philosophical ideologies of some of the world's greatest minds. This is a story with a lot to offer."
--Readers' Favorite review by Jamie Michele (five-star review)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

V.P. Evans is the pen name of an average (and perhaps boring) guy who seems desperate to disappear into lands far away. You would probably find him lost in a secluded village in Estonia, wandering among the wild islands of the Azores, or backpacking across vague paths in Asia. And sometimes, as the fading lights and the thick darkness of this mysterious cosmos unfold before him, he has an idea and writes it down.

A great story!

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023

V.P. Evans writes this book building up the tension and suspense from page one. The Rebirth tells the story of two men who made really bad choices in the past, and now they are looking for a way to make things up and redeem themselves. But the past is catching them fast, hard to escape from it, even when ten years have passed by.

I got to say this book caught my attention from the beginning, the story is constantly changing from past to present, showing the life of both characters, so it needs to be read paying attention to details. The writing is accelerating and filled with action and mystery.

Definitely recommended for people looking for a good old fashioned dark thriller!

A Philosophical Thriller

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023

I enjoyed this book! But not for the reasons one might think based on the genre and description.
This novel is part thriller, part treasure hunt trope, part redemption story, and part philosophical discussion.

The story follows two main characters, foils of one another, Mark Gilliam and Jason Roneros. Their journey through a single night brings with it nightmares from the past, and the search for the truth. Mark is looking for answers and peace from a heartbreaking loss in his past. When he meets Jason, he thinks that going on this erratic and dangerous hunt with him for answers will finally end the nightmare of his past.

The author's writing is very detailed. Part of why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because I, personally, felt that at times the writing became too dense and burdensome to stay true to the genre. For instance, there was about 12-15 pages in a row pondering Nietzsche’s ideals. Shortly after, many pages were dedicated to the differences between Plato and Aristotle’s ideals. From mobsters, to child death, to addiction, to politicians, to corrupt cops, to PTSD, to historical discussions about pretty much every major historical event you can think of, to a treasure hunt trope, to conspiracies, to sexual triggers, to serial killers…this book has a little bit of everything. But I think it might have taken away from the heart of the story instead of adding to it.

Overall, if you like highly descriptive novels that tread between multiple genres, with a heavy philosophical lean, this would be a great choice. The author manages to create a seamless story with clarity while providing SO much other information that deepens the characters’ thought processes and also demands that the reader ask the same questions of their own life.

The Rebirth by V.P. Evans is a tantalizing crime fiction filled with mystery and murder. Two men Mark Gilliam and Jason Roneros have become ghost of the past. Previously they shared an equally respectable and honourable life but things changed for worst due to their bad judgment. Now a decade later, they come together for a murder mystery that throws them back into the abyss of past while they fight in the future. This has been one of the most enthralling read I have read in a while. The story is fast-paced and the mystery keeps unravelling itself progressively. The author has done an excellent job in building the storyline and well-developed characters. The twist and turns kept me engrossed till the end. A must-have for the crime mystery lovers. I highly recommend this.

While the premise of the story is engaging, and the author has a clear love for writing, the plot is brought down by the verbiage. I love myself a good thriller and mystery novel, and this book does start us off with a bang and a body, but it's inundated with excessive descriptions. This may not be the book of the year, but as long as you don't mind extra writing, you'll get some enjoyment out of this detective romp.

This was a very good dark noir, and I'm so thankful for the author's writing skills. Some books just feel like they were written by someone with no experience or not much writing ability, but V.P. Evans is far from that. I could feel every emotion, imagine the pain, and envision every scene, all because of the ease with which this was written. I enjoyed taking this dark journey through Mark's history into his present struggles. If I had one complaint, it'd be that it was quite a bit too long for me and possibly too detailed sometimes. I like to have a little left to the imagination, personally, but for others, they might enjoy this level of detail. Regardless, a great read to entangle yourself in on a lazy afternoon.

If you like your psychological thrillers complex and grim, this is the book for you. The characters are gritty and raw, with all the flaws you can expect from tormented individuals. There isn’t a dull page, and there’s an impressive amount of detail, making it easy to be fully immersed in the story. Plenty of twists and turns, and an ending that I didn’t anticipate. Action-packed from start to finish!

Best for mature audiences due to language and adult content.
