Book Description:
In Palmerston, Pennsylvania,Members who requested this book also requested:
two men in long coats walk calmly into a crowded fast food restaurant-then, slowly and methodically, gun down sixty-eight people. They take time to reload.
On the Promenade of Santa Monica, California, a teenaged girl gives sightseeing tips to a distinguished English tourist. She won't be going home tonight.
In Dyersburg, Montana, a grief-stricken son tries to make sense of the accident that killed his parents-then finds a note stuffed in his father's favorite chair. It says, "We're not dead."
Three seemingly unrelated events, these are the first signs of an unimaginable network of fear that will lead one unlikely hero to a chilling confrontation with The Straw Men. No one knows who they are-or why they kill. But they must be stopped. Michael Marshall's electrifying debut novel is an instant masterpiece of modern suspense. An epic thriller for anyone who has feared that someone is watching us.

Wards parents are killed in an accident. He finds a hidden note (among other things) after the funeral. His life is about to change. Other seemingly unrelated events are happening...but in the end, all lead to "The Straw Men".
I could not put this book down. It is an intriquitly woven tale, that is as bazarr as it is believable. You will not forget the characters of this book, and the tale they tell will stay with you. Stephen King said it was a Masterpiece. It was.

Great Book. Found it odd at the end, but after finishing the book still thought about it and felt the ending added to the book.

Jennifer W. (A really good thriller, although I was a little perplexed at the ending.
Reads really quickly though, and pulls you right into the mysteries of what's going on.
Great for those who love a good thriller!
I read this again as a prelude to finishing the series. Still as powerful as it was the first time.
