A breakneck pace doesn't even begin to describe how quickly
the events unfold in TRUST NO ONE. The action and plot
twists never stop as protagonist Nick Horrigan tries to
make sense of the craziness that is his life.
Awakened before dawn by a SWAT team, Nick is taken to meet
with a terrorist who is threatening to blow up a power
plant unless he is allowed to speak with Nick. Even though
Nick doesn't know the man, it's clear the stranger has key
information that will help Nick unlock the riddles of his
past.
At times, the plot seems a bit convenient and clichéd, but
this will scarcely matter to the reader as you race along
with Nick, as much in the dark as he is, until the story
ends, where all is explained to the satisfaction of reader
and characters alike. TRUST NO ONE is a thoroughly
enjoyable book. A lot of fun and so engaging you won't want
to put it down.
Over the past two decades, Nick Horrigan has built a
quiet, safe life for himself, living as much under the
radar as possible. But all of that shatters when, in the
middle of the night, a SWAT team bursts into his
apartment, grabs him and drags him to a waiting
helicopter. A terrorist— someone Nick has never heard of—
has seized control of a nuclear reactor, threatening to
blow it up. And the only person he’ll talk to is Nick,
promising to tell Nick the truth behind the events that
shattered his life twenty years ago.
At seventeen
years old, Nick Horrigan made a deadly mistake—one that
cost his stepfather his life, endangered his mother, and
sent him into hiding for years. Now, what Nick discovers
in that nuclear plant leaves him with only two choices—to
start running again, or to fight and finally uncover the
secrets that have held him hostage all these years.
As Nick peels back layer after layer of lies
and deception, buffeted between the buried horrors of the
past and the deadly intrigues of the present, he finds his
own life—and the lives of nearly everyone he loves—at
risk. And the only thing guiding him through this deadly
labyrinth are his stepfather’s dying words: TRUST NO ONE.
Acclaimed for years by both critics and his peers as one
of the finest thriller writers today, Gregg Hurwitz has
lived up to all the accolades and expectations with
Trust No One, an electrifying and compelling novel
that will be remembered for years to come.
