Notorious serial killer the Upright Man has escaped from prison, and the FBI have no idea where to look for him. His brother, Ward Hopkins, suspects he may have been aided by the Straw Men, the shadowy organization founded on murder as a way of life that killed Ward's parents. A complex question fallacy occurs when someone asks a question that presupposes the answer to another question that has not been established or accepted by the other person. For example, asking someone “Have you stopped cheating on tests?”, unless it has previously been established that the person is indeed cheating on tests, is a fallacy.This is the “editing” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with proofreading. The only place where Marshall falters is while writing action scenes,they seem a bit rough around the edges.But as this was his first book in this genre it can be overlooked as a minor fault.I have read his later books & can vouch that it ceases to be a problem for him. This is the first step of the editing process and applies to very early drafts. The editor helps you structure your ideas, decide what story to tell and find direction for your writing. Ward Hopkins, ex CIA agent, is a man with a secret past, and he is determined to confront the murderers of his parents and trace the whereabouts is his lost brother Paul “The Upright Man” a deranged serial killer. His parents had been murdered by a group that his father had belonged to 35 years earlier...”the Straw Men, and believed themselves the only portion of humanity uninfected by a virus promoting social conscience above the cold-hearted individualism they believed inherent to our species. Whether they genuinely thought this, or it was just a convenient cover for acts of violence and depravity, was not clear.”

So what happened towards the end that took me from enjoying a LOT to enjoying it quite a bit? Well, the novel fell into that cliched, shoot-em-up rescue climax, which, as a reader, really doesn't do a whole lot for me. I know the nature of closing off a story such as this has to have the ending it does; it's inevitable. I put up with it because I was so captivated by the story and his writing.

Despite some in the media claiming that they did, the fact is that they simply didn’t. Which is why this week Mr Luxon will find himself trying to placate the two men who would be deputy, rather than planning to head off to APEC. The Straw Men is a book about serial killers. It opens with a scene set in a small American town, where a duo of gunmen open fire in a busy McDonald's fast food franchise. Explanation: The husband has constructed a straw man of the wife’s claim. The wife never said that she doesn’t like big cities. The husband instead misrepresents what she says to make her preferences seem more extreme than they are.
