    About this audiobook

    Over the past two decades, Nick Horrigan has built a quiet, safe life until, one night, a SWAT team bursts into his apartment, grabs him, and drags him to a waiting helicopter. A terrorist has seized control of a nuclear reactor, threatening to blow it up.

    And the only person he'll talk to is Nick.

    When they come face-to-face, he promises to tell Nick the real truth behind the events that shattered his life twenty years ago.

    At seventeen years old, Nick Horrigan made a deadly mistake-one that cost his stepfather his life, endangered his mother, and sent him into hiding for years. Now what Nick discovers in that nuclear plant leaves him with only two choices-to start running again, or to fight and finally uncover the secrets that have held him hostage all these years.

    As Nick peels back layer after layer of lies and deception, buffeted between the buried horrors of the past and the deadly intrigues of the present, he finds his own life-and the lives of nearly everyone he loves-at risk. And the only thing guiding him through this deadly labyrinth are his stepfather's dying words: Trust no one.

      Fast paced thriller that takes off like a rocket and does not slow down for one second. There are lots of twists and turns to the plot. This one will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. I found some of the plot points a bit hard to believe but none diminished my enjoyment. The ending is particularly satisfying. I listened to the audio version and I can't recommend the narrator highly enough. Patrick Lawlor is excellent.
    • 4/5
      A quick read, interesting, keeps your attention. The conspiracy-plot story line was a fast-paced background to the more important story about identity and family. I liked how the author used the main character's memories of his step-father and his influence on not only who he has become but also on who he is now, finally, becoming. I'd be interested in other books from this author.
    • 4/5
      Great book. Didn't want to put it down from page one. Having just read Hurwitz's first book earlier in the month, which I thought was extremely well written -- this one shows just how far he has progressed since [The Kill Clause].A fascinating story of overwhelming guilt and a new found desire to survive while making sure justice is served moves along at a great pace. Hurwitz does an exceptional job of making a too far out there conspiracy theory plausible. When you stop to think "wait a minute", you realize he's already provided you with the background info to make it believeable. For me, that's the mark of a great storyteller!
    • 4/5
      The first half of the book took me a long time to get through. I just didn't care about Nick , in fact I disliked him in the beginning. Not caring about the main character in a book makes it hard for me to keep picking it up. I am glad that I did keep picking it up, by the end of the book I did care and like Nick. I enjoyed the plot and the ending, but seeing Nick's character develop from beginning to end really set this book apart from other thrillers I've read.
    • 4/5
      This is my first reading of a Gregg Hurwitz book. I must admit I had not heard of him before. But, I was taken by the way he presented his characters, how he unfolded the story at a pace that made it difficult to put the book down. And, if you did, you had this urge to get back to the book from wherever you were. That's what a good book has to be, something that's in the back of your mind until the last page. I think anyone who picks up the book will sense that craving at work.
    • 4/5
      I liked this book, I look forward to more from Hurwitz. Catchy and, even though I could see where the ending was going, I just wasn't sure. That doubt made me want to finish the book to find out what happens. Good book.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. It sucked me in to the story right away and the action and plot twists kept me hooked until the end. I didn't want to put it down until I was done. A great read!
    • 3/5
      Elements of this story strain credibility (but thrillers often do) and one of the characters is obviously (but inexplicably) modeled after Barack Obama. Otherwise, it's a page-turning thriller that speeds forward at breakneck pace with a likable, if unremarkable, main character and some nifty plot twists.

      When Nick Horrigan's step-father is murdered, his life is changed forever. Now, after 17 years and just when he though his life was getting back to "normal", everything is turned on end. Suddenly, Nick finds himself in the middle of an attempted terrorist bombing, a heated presidential race, the Secret Service, and the mystery of a murder committed 17 years ago.Although at times there are so many different threads to the story it becomes hard to follow, it all comes together in the for and exciting and surprising end.
    • 4/5
      Greg Hurwitz does it again, another well written thriller. Nick Horrigan has found his way home after 17 years on the run from the circumstances surrounding the death of his step father. He blames himself for the death, and at the same time has believed that he was also a suspect. As the story begins, Nick has been brought to the scene of a terroist threatening to blow up a nuclear facility, instead, he becomes the hero when he delivers a cell phone that kills the terrorist. This leads to the gratitude of the two candidates currently running for President of the United States, and Nick's reluctance to be placed in the limelight, he wants no rewards or glory for the role he played, just to continue living his life. But that is not to be, somehow, the terrorist is tied to the death many years ago of his step father, and one at a time, the clues start to appear, Nick is on a mission to find the truth, and that is where the story takes us, on his journey to reveal and expose the killers and reasons for his stepfather's murder. Well written and enjoyed.
    • 3/5
      Nice conspiracy theory story. I'm not a big believer on conspiracy theories though so it seemed a bit far fetched most of the time but entertaining never-the-less. Also, this happens to be the second book in row that deals with shady politicians and the Secret Service (Redemption Road by John Hart being the other), so I probably am just a little tired of that storyline too. I'm a fan of Hurwitz and going back to some of his earlier stuff. He definitely has evolved and improved as time went on. I'm not going to stop until I've read all his novels. The comic books: just not my thing.
    • 3/5
      This book wasn't as thrilling or mysterious as the blurb implied, but it was still an enjoyable read. The juxtaposition of past and present kept me from getting bored and, though the culprit was fairly predictable, the author still managed to keep some tension to the story. Worth reading.
    • 4/5
      WE KNOW is the second book from Gregg Hurwitz, which was released in 2008. This is a review very much in the spirit of better late than never, as this is a book that is just the thing for fans of big, over-the-top, clever, pitch-perfect thrillers.You really have to remember that WE KNOW is a thriller. The central character Nick Horrigan obviously has a secret which is obviously going to be slowly revealed as the book progresses (well it becomes obvious after a seat of the pants opening scene). Not everyone with a secret, however, gets a SWAT team descending from a Black Hawk helicopter in the middle of the night to smash their way into their apartment. What on earth sort of a secret is it that would make Nick the sort of person that a terrorist, threatening to blow up a nuclear power station, ask to speak to? Alone.WE KNOW is quite simply a wow of a thriller. It must be, as it does a number of things that normally would annoy this reader, and yet I was hooked. The cliffhanger at the end of each chapter normally annoys. There's a few completely unlikely scenarios (let's face it, for example, even with a HUGE secret, if the authorities wanted you to help out in a terrorist threat, they'd probably knock on the door before they sent in the Black Hawks). But really, the point of a good thriller is that it shouldn't matter if things get a little squiffy plot wise. If there's some obvious manipulation going on - well bring it on, pass the chocolates, pour a glass of wine and let's get stuck in here.And this really is one of those tremendous thrillers. Simply couldn't put it down. Went out and bought the next book in the series the next day. You can't get better than that.
    • 4/5
      Probably a 3.5 star for me. Not a bad book but after reading this authors orphan X series my expectations were set a bit higher than this book produced. Still not a bad read but definitely subpar compared to the Orphan x series
    • 5/5
      Very interesting story well written and full of new upcoming facts that keep you interested in reading/ listening to see what is going to happen next
    • 4/5
      Good plot, I like the author. The voice talent took a while to get used to, but was ok.
    • 5/5
      From the opening sentences this book is incredibly exciting. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is perfect for it. 100% recommend!
    • 3/5
      This thriller starts out fast and doesn’t let up until the last page is turned. Nick Horrigan is wakened at 2:18 a.m. by a SWAT team breaking into his home and hauling him out to talk to a terrorist who swears he will speak to no one but him – for no reason anyone can discern. The situation is somehow related to what happened to his stepfather seventeen years earlier, but Nick can’t figure out how everything fits together until he’s gone through about seven acres of hell. Trust No One is a reliable thriller from an author who is now, after two books, on my list of authors I’ll read unconditionally.
    • 5/5
      It’s good to have friends in high and low placesI love a thriller you can read in a day. It’s not about how many pages or how many hours spent reading; it’s about a book holding your attention for as long as it takes to finish it. It’s about a day you’d rather spend reading than doing anything else. That was my day on Sunday, when I read Gregg Hurwitz’s Trust No One.As the novel opens, protagonist Nick Horrigan is awakened by sirens in the night. Stepping onto his balcony to investigate, he’s slammed in the chest by the feet of a black-clad man rappelling down from the roof. Moments later, Nick realizes that half the law enforcement in LA is there for HIM. He is utterly astounded as they put him into custody and start tearing apart his condo. He soon learns that a terrorist has taken control of part of a nuclear power plant and is threatening to irradiate half of Southern California unless he can talk to Nick face-to-face. Mystified, Nick tells the authorities he’s never seen or heard of the guy. Nonetheless, moments later he’s on a chopper to the power plant, and then inside with the fugitive. Going into the book, I thought the scenario above would comprise the bulk of this novel, but on the contrary it’s merely the opening of a political thriller in which an average Joe gets embroiled in election year presidential politics. Nick’s a good guy, but he’s got a troubled past. And events he thought were behind him are intimately tied to the mess he finds himself in. Tired of running, Nick calls on all his resources and allies to finally get the answers behind a crime that has haunted him for seventeen years.As you may have gathered, Trust No One is a page-turner. Along the way we meet several intriguing and well-drawn characters. The convoluted plot is intricately drawn, and while I was always guessing, I never came close to figuring out what was really going on. At the same time, I never felt like the author was cheating with coincidences or contrivances. The ending of the novel is complete, with no threads left hanging to indicate a sequel. Even so, I’m wondering if we’ll see Nick Horrigan again. His tale is told, but I feel like there’s so much more story left in his relationships with the other characters. I, for one, would definitely come back for more.
