“One of the best thrillers of the year so far….a killer of an opening scene….Moves at death-defying speed, but Hurwitz still manages to layer depth and nuance onto his characters….Trust No One has action and suspense and all the good stuff readers look for in a thriller, but it also has smarts…Combines the sharp political twists of a book like Robert Ludlum’s The Chancellor Manuscript or James Grady’s Six Days of the Condor with the white-knuckle pacing of a Joseph Finder thriller.”
THE DAILY BEAST

“With Trust No One, Gregg Hurwitz deservedly takes his place at the forefront of suspense writers. His action scenes are juggernauts, his language fluid and original, the twists not only plentiful but plausible, which, to borrow from Twain, is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. And Hurwitz’s succinct dialogue still jabs with the speed of an MP5 on full auto. I guarantee that once you read the first page of this terrific novel, your hands will keep ripping pages until there are none left, leaving your nerves jangled and your brain cells melted from trying to figure it all out.”
DAVID BALDACCI 

“Trust No One is as fine a thriller as you will read in this or any other year. I can tell you that it is fast-paced, engrossing, and chock full of real surprises. But this book has so much more: sharp writing, a character you will pull for to the last page, and a timely plot. But mostly, Trust No One has heart. I’ve enjoyed all of Gregg Hurwitz’s previous novels, but Trust No One is in a class of its own. In a word: magnificent.”
CHRISTOPHER REICH

“In Trust No One, Gregg Hurwitz weaves a tangled web of political deceit that will keep even the saviest thriller readers guessing until the very last page.”
BRAD THOR

“Do NOT start Gregg Hurwitz’s new novel Trust No One at the end of a long day when you have to get back up early the next morning. This is the only warning you get….I read until I went blind…..Hurwitz grabs you by the throat with this one, and he doesn’t let go till he’s finished with you.”
DENVER TIMES

“At the top of this year’s must-read list.”
BOOKREPORTER.COM

“Gregg Hurwitz has emerged as one of today’s most exciting thriller writers….his ninth novel takes a cue from the best of Alfred Hitchock.”
THE SUN-SENTINEL

“The plotting is masterful. The story moves like a bullet as Hurwitz deftly interweaves his hero’s soul-searching with his race to untangle a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of government. Exciting all the way.”
ANDREW KLAVAN

“In a briskly paced case that blends action with insight, Hurwitz puts the clues on the table, then plays the shell game with the reader and wins.”
KIRKUS

“Page-to-page suspense and breakneck pacing….a slam-bang beginning to a fast-paced thriller….”
BOOKLIST

“Blasts new life… an intelligent thriller… provides plenty of excitement.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 

“The breathtaking pace of this thriller is set from the opening scene.”
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

“Well-drawn, appealing characters and propulsive narrative…Unlike many authors in the thriller field these days, Gregg Hurwitz understands the craft of writing. His characters, even minor ones, have personalities. His descriptive passages are vivid, never distracting. His prose is crisp and driving.”
CHICAGO SUN TIMES

“Hurwitz…..writes brilliant, highly original thrillers.”
WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN

“…starts out with a bang… a thriller with heart, anchored by a realistic father-son relationship… Nick’s personal journey will hook genre fans as surely as the fast pace, cutting-edge technology, and political machinations.”
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

“A political thriller of considerable ambition and tension. Author Gregg Hurwitz is a rising star among thriller writers, and Trust No One is going to make that ascent brighter. [He has an] extraordinary mastery of his genre’s demands.”
JANUARY MAGAZINE

“If only Alfred Hitchcock were alive today.”
