When No One is Watching – Virtual Book Tour
When No One is Watching by Joseph Hayes
Virtual Book Tour Dates – September – October 2011
Synopsis from the back of the book – 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. Author Joseph combines page-turning suspense with a poignant tale of inspiration and redemption as he asks, is “the greater good” just a lie we tell ourselves to justify the sins we commit when no one is watching?
My thoughts – I enjoyed reading this story, even if it is a little predictable. I rooted for Danny, the best friend framed in the accident. After being disbarred, he went from an unhappy, drunk lawyer to a respected college professor and a mentor to men struggling with alcohol. Blair on the other hand, was definitely successful after the accident he caused. His political career was going crazy, but there was always the guilt. In the end, one man is content and the other is broken.
