Dear Librarian, Have you ever had the feeling that you were being watched, even though there was no one else around? Your pulse races and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. We usually dismiss that sensation as a momentary spasm of paranoia, but it's justified more often than most of us realize. The government is watching all of us as part of its effort to combat terrorism, reading our e-mails and reviewing our phone records. That unsettling fact is at the heart of my debut legal thriller THE INSIDER. San Francisco corporate attorney Will Connelly's well-ordered life is shattered when he watches a colleague hurtle to his death outside his office window. Within days, Will is the prime suspect in a murder, the target of an S.E.C. insider trading investigation, and a pawn in a complex criminal scheme involving the Russian mafia and a ruthless terrorist plot. Will must ensure that a deadly enemy doesn't gain access to the nation's most sensitive and confidential information – and the power to do incalculable, irrevocable harm. In writing THE INSIDER, I drew upon my experiences as a partner in a law firm and a privacy law expert. I hope you will visit my website at www.reecehirsch.com to read the first chapter and learn more about the book and the real-life privacy issues that it touches upon. Publishers Weekly says of THE INSIDER: "Regulatory attorney Hirsch's debut thriller has something for everyone.... Hirsch's fast-paced, film-ready plot, and tough, ambitious characters will keep fans of legal thrillers on the edge of their seats." New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart says "Hirsch is writing and running with the big boys." New York Times bestselling author Gayle Lynds says, "Watch out, John Grisham!" And the next time you feel that you're being watched... you're probably right. Reece Hirsch www.reecehirsch.com
