The bruise on the young goalie’s cheek got girls high school soccer coach Brooke Burrell’s attention. Brooke tries to keep her advantage as the most decorated woman agent ever in government service at bay while dealing with the suspected abusive father – although she’d love to punch his lights out. Her digging reveals the reason for his abusiveness and it connects to a massive international terrorist attack.
When the father is found dead, Brooke is accused of the murder. Suddenly, she is forced to defend herself in court, and in the court of public opinion – while trying to stop the insidious plot to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people across the globe in one terrifying instant and bring the western world to its knees.
Filled with the nonstop thrills, all-too-real scenarios, and remarkable attention to detail that has made Tom Avitabile a consistent #1 bestseller, Forgive Us Our Trespasses is edge-of-your-seat storytelling of the first order.

My Thoughts:
In recent years, thrillers like this have become all too frequent at the top of my favorite reads. Tom Avitabile does not disappoint with my new founded fascination with books that pull from the current state of the world and thrust it in our faces, demanding we turn each page with anticipation, excitement, and a bit of fear. What I'm not is a tech wizard, but I felt like I could follow this storyline without getting lost in the details. Everything was explained thoroughly, pulling me in even more. The characters, especially Brooke, are well-developed, intriguing, and admirable.
Throughout the book, I could feel the tension build and pull me in a bit more with each page. I felt Brooke's desire for wanting to return to "normal" in her retirement, but there are some parts that simply can't be shut off. Her need to help and fix things. When she notices the bruises on one of the girls on her team, as her coach, she steps in and confronts the father. The incident leads to her being under the microscope for the father's murder when he turns up dead. This is where I feel Brooke's character begins shining a little brighter.
The plot is written as a true thriller. It slides into your subconscious, forcing you to color outside the lines when drawing conclusions. Just when you think your heart is returning to normal, the pace picks back up, thrusting you in another direction.
How did I not find this author sooner? He's phenomenal!
