One nameless vigilante's quest to cure the city of its sins

 

Dark Heart draws on the thriller genre to provide a social commentary of a man who has lost his faith in society. He begins to notice the rising amount of negative images in the media surrounding him daily and decides that only he can cure the city of its sins. As a vigilante, he shifts from everyday citizen into a dark underworld figure in order to become saviour of the city.

During the novel our lead goes through several stages that bring him face-to-face with the traumas that have been tormenting him – road rage, drugs, murder and rape. While facing these situations he transforms from ordinary person to an image in the newspaper; from self-appointed hero to anti-hero, and consequently, villain.
