Publisher's summary

Everyone has something to hide....

The virile, all-American husband. The brainy golden girl. The happily wed bi-coastal couple.

Someone is watching….

Someone who has uncovered their darkest secrets. Someone who is hell-bent on making them pay for their sins.

No one suspects the truth....

Now there is no escaping the shadowy jury that watches their every move. Infiltrates every part of their lives. Stalking. Judging. Condemning. Punishment will be swift, severe, and final.

©2001 Kevin O'Brien (P)2016 Tantor

Critic reviews

"The narrative hits fever pitch in the final scenes as Olson, Cooper and Sutton confront the white supremacists that have sullied their reputations and threatened their loved ones. Gay rights, gun control and other hot-button issues augment the narrative tension, and O'Brien's snappy dialogue effectively maintains the breakneck pacing of this haunting read." ( Publishers Weekly)

Entertaining

The narrator isn’t my favorite but the storyline was on point for our current climate then and now! It took a little while to ramp up the excitement but it follows through in the middle and end.

Wasn’t sure

I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish it once I got started, but I’m glad I did. Tough content, but overall a good listen.

Didn’t finish

Boring, overly politicized. Got to chapter six and just couldn’t finish. Not as captivating as his other books.

Couldn't finish

This story seemed too drawn out for me. I couldn't finish. It put me to sleep.

the terrible narrator.

the person that is reading this book is awful. it is distracting from the story. it's a shame too. I am having so much trouble staying engaged and I absolutely adore Kevin O'Brien! it's definitely not the story. it's the guy reading it. ugh!

Brilliant take!

Brilliant take on a radical group. aAs with many of Kevin O'Brien's books, many interlocking storylines and plot twists. He is a genius writer. I am listening to all of his books back to back and I am obsessed! OBSESSED!!

Great story

I would have liked a different ending, or at least an ending where all the creeps in the hate group were rounded up and punished. The narrator was great.
