Over the past two decades, Nick Horrigan has built a quiet, safe life for himself, living as much under the radar as possible. But all of that shatters when, in the middle of the night, a SWAT team bursts into his apartment, grabs him and drags him to a waiting helicopter. A terrorist— someone Nick has never heard of—has seized control of a nuclear reactor, threatening to blow it up. And the only person he'll talk to is Nick, promising to tell Nick the 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. Acclaimed for years by both critics and his peers as one of the finest thriller writers today, Gregg Hurwitz has lived up to all the accolades and expectations with Trust No One, an electrifying and compelling novel that will be remembered for years to come.

      Despite the removal in 1995 of Bernard Lafferty-Doris Duke's hard-drinking, barely literate butler-as coexecutor of Duke's will, the disposition of the estate of the heiress to the American Tobacco Company fortune is still hotly contested. Here, prolific biographer Schwarz (Rose Kennedy, etc.) reconstructs Duke's final months, again raising the possibility not only that she was manipulated by those closest to her during her final days but that she was murdered. The murder theory was discredited recently, however, when the Los Angeles district attorney's office found no evidence of homicide. Schwarz doesn't seem to provide any material that was unavailable to or withheld from the L.A. investigation or, failing that, any evidence of a cover-up. He does offer a serviceable biography of Duke, including coverage of the well-known affairs with General Patton, Errol Flynn and others that were previously detailed in Duke godson Pony Duke's Too Rich, which Schwarz cites as a source. Rybak, who worked for Duke as a cook in the 1980s, delivers a few details on Duke's drinking (a fifth of sherry a night) and her art collection, but little new on Lafferty or on the possibility that Duke had an affair with Chandi Heffner, the grown woman she adopted in 1988. Schwarz does theorize that Duke intentionally killed her friend Eddie Terella-previous accounts have accepted the official explanation of an accident-but stops short of providing actual evidence. His writing can be slipshod-he has the habit of using ironically to mean coincidentally-and most of his research is limited to secondary sources. More crucial, Schwarz fails to capture Duke's personality, and this reduces the book to a litany of tragic excess. For a Doris with heart, try Too Rich.
