Fresh Fiction Review

Trust No One
Gregg Hurwitz

Reviewed by Sue Burke
Posted June 10, 2009

Thriller

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.

SUMMARY

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.
