Sharyn Karr, an American student studying at the University of Exeter, wants nothing more than to focus on her postgraduate work involving witchcraft and folklore. A professor she admires gives her a book with a strange cover and inscriptions, telling her to hide it and trust no one. Shortly after, she learns that the library where she was given the book caught fire, and her professor’s burned remains are found. Since she was the last person to see him alive, she’s the primary suspect. Sharyn and some of her friends attempt to solve the mystery surrounding the book, which was supposedly handwritten by enigmatic eighteenth-century mystic the Comte de Saint-Germain. They will dodge bullets, fight treachery, and play detective in various parts of the world while staying one step ahead of ruthless killers determined to obtain the volume at all costs. Fans of Rollins will find his terrific blend of historical facts, relentless action, and relatable and realistic characters on full display. Newcomers to this master of adventure will read this in one sitting and then will want to dive into his earlier novels. Trust this reviewer, and get Trust No One.
