When group counselor Daniel Brasher, who works with paroled violent offenders in San Francisco, finds several envelopes in his office mail addressed to other people, he's shocked by the death threats he finds inside. Then he learns that some of the people have already been brutally murdered. Even though the police ask for his help uncovering the vicious killer's identity, Daniel's sense of duty and obligation is what really drags him into the case. He hates standing by when others are at risk; that's why he does what he does. It doesn't take long before Daniel is caught up in the devious killer's game; a monster who is now targeting Daniel's family.

The atmospherically detailed descriptions of San Francisco make it an essential part of Gregg Hurwitz's riveting psychological thriller TELL NO LIES. Even though the plot and character motivation seem a bit implausible at times, events progress at a fast-pace to the compelling conclusion.
