In Christchurch, New Zealand, crime novelist Jerry Grey,
writing as Henry Cutter, has found out he has early-onset
Alzheimer's at the age of 49. Coming to terms with his
disease has Jerry, as well as his wife and adult daughter,
making many adjustments to their lifestyle. Not knowing how
much time he has, whenever Jerry is cognizant, he writes
personal feelings about his situation in a "Madness
Journal" for the Future Jerry to refer to when times get
bad.
In his dementia, the worlds Jerry created in his novels
start to seem real, as if he's lived them. And the sense
he's actually killed someone is too real to ignore. Has he
been writing what he's experienced? When Jerry starts
claiming he's actually committed the brutal murders he's
written about in his books, no one believes him because of
his illness. Could he really be killing these people, or is
something else more sinister at work behind the scenes?
Paul Cleave's TRUST NO ONE is a dynamic
psychological thriller from the opening paragraph to its
shocking conclusion. With spellbinding narrative and expert
plot progression, Cleave keeps readers wondering what is
true and what is fabrication as Jerry struggles to deal
with his dementia and the world around him. Character
development is exemplary, as each person plays an important
role in this exceptional thriller. I became so immersed in
TRUST NO ONE, I could not put it down. Highly recommended
reading!
In the exciting new psychological thriller by the Edgar-
nominated author of Joe Victim, a famous crime writer
struggles to differentiate between his own reality and the
frightening plot lines he’s created for the page.
Jerry Grey is known to most of the world by his crime
writing pseudonym, Henry Cutter—a name that has been
keeping readers at the edge of their seats for more than a
decade. Recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at
the age of 49, Jerry’s crime writing days are coming to an
end. His 12 books tell stories of brutal murders committed
by bad men, of a world out of balance, of victims finding
the darkest forms of justice. As his dementia begins to
break down the wall between his life and the lives of the
characters he has created, Jerry confesses his worst
secret: The stories are real. He knows this because he
committed the crimes.
Those close to him, including the nurses at the care home
where he now lives, insist that it is all in his head, that
his memory is being toyed with and manipulated by his
unfortunate disease. But if that were true, then why are so
many bad things happening? Why are people dying?
