Product Description
On the eve of announcing his run for Congress, a charismatic Chicago politician causes a deadly accident. Panicked, he frames his best friend, a good-hearted alcoholic, and flees the scene. As one man tries to pick up the pieces of his shattered life, the other embarks on a meteoric rise to political stardom. But when a dogged detective digs deeper into the case, the political superstar must decide just how far he is willing to go to keep his dark secret and avoid an explosive scandal that could ruin him and rock the entire nation. In this suspenseful thriller, author Joseph Hayes asks, is "the greater good" just a lie we tell ourselves to justify the sins we commit when no one is watching?
My Thoughts
When No One Is Watching is a story about fellow lawyers and best friends whose lives are forever changed by a bad choice made by one of them. One loses everything and the other rises as far as campaigning for President. The story is also about the families of these two men and how the choices affect them. The atmosphere of the book is what could be called a political thriller mixed with lots of greed and even threats from people in high places. The novel spans quite a few years and is heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. A story about how one mans greed can be the cause of a lifetime of lies, and it explores the betrayal, ethical, moral issues and ultimately forgiveness. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a well written story and a theme that could conceivably happen to anyone. I really liked this book.
I received this book from phenix & phenix and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
