“Wow. I read Surveillance in one fell swoop—absolutely riveting and compelling. It propels Reece Hirsch right to the A-list of the thriller game. Loved every line.” —Ken Bruen, author of The Guards

“Snap your cell phone’s SIM card in half, stuff a copy of Surveillance into your bug-out bag, and make sure you’re not followed to your off-grid cabin in the woods, because Reece Hirsch’s latest Chris Bruen novel ratchets up the paranoia something fierce.” —Chris Holm, author of The Killing Kind

“On the bleeding edge of computing, Surveillance will have you looking over your shoulder and thinking twice before hitting send. A hell of a ride.” —Matthew FitzSimmons, author of The Short Drop

“[Surveillance involves] a dark and dangerous technology that resembles what Will Smith's character went up against in Enemy of the State with the feel of Robert Redford dashing between New York and Washington in Three Days of the Condor. Those are lofty comparisons, I know, but Hirsch more than measures up thanks to a pair of appealing heroes and the devilish conspiracy in which they find themselves embroiled. The classically structured Surveillance delivers on all its promises, relentlessly satisfying in all respects.” —Providence Journal

“Hirsch's first three books were brilliant and gripping. But Surveillance is his best so far. Hirsch has a gift for explaining the latest developments and challenges in the cyber world to the layman and marrying their implications with real world headlines while creating a thrilling fictional stew of high-tech crime and murder.” —Tallahassee Democrat
