Trust No One

After hearing Gregg Hurwitz speak on a Thrillers and Chillers panel at our local library Bookmania! a few weeks ago, I picked up his Trust No One (#154) which came out in 2009.  It did not disappoint.

Nick Horrigan has been on the run for seventeen years, ever since the night his Secret Service stepfather was murdered.  His dying words to Nick were "Trust no one."  Nick thinks he's been living safely off the grid until the night a SWAT team breaks into his condo and he's hustled into a Black Hawk helicopter to meet with the terrorist who has threatened to bomb the San Onofre nuclear power plant on the LA coast.  It seems the terrorist has asked for him by name and will talk only to Nick.  When that encounter ends badly, Nick knows his past has finally caught up with him.  He now has two choices: he can run again, or he can stay put and try to find out what led to his stepfather's murder seventeen years ago. 

This book was a fast read, because I couldn't put it down.  If you haven't read any of Mr. Hurwitz's books, Trust No One is a good one to start with, and a particularly satisfying read in the midst of this messy presidential campaign.  To say more might be to give away too much, so I'll just say that this book easily beat out its entertainment competition on TV.  My husband and both agreed that we definitely want to read more of Gregg Hurwitz's thrillers!
