The nightmare has just begun... your world has changed forever. “Evil is beyond the reach of no man.” “But can a man remove himself beyond the reach of evil?” Kevin asked. “Indeed,” Dr. Francis said. “Can man step beyond evil’s reach? I think not. Not in this lifetime.” “Then all men are condemned to a life of evil,” Kevin said. “A lifetime struggle with evil, not a life of evil,” Dr. Francis clarified. Imagine answering your cell phone one day to a male voice that gives you three minutes to confess your sin. If you don’t, the madman, Slater, will blow your car to smithereens. You barely manage to exit heavy traffic and ditch the car when, precisely three minutes later, your car blows sky high. The media and police descend on the scene; your world has just changed forever. So begins the nightmare that grows with progressively higher stakes. There ís another phone call, another riddle. The cycle will not stop until the world discovers the secret of your sin, but you don’t have a clue what that sin is. If not for Jennifer, the brilliant FBI agent working to corner Slater, you would indeed go mad.

"This has been my favorite Ted Dekker book so far - if you've seen the movie and hated it or are hesitant to read the book.... trust me, read the book. The film adaptation didn't do it justice!"
— Pattie (5 out of 5 stars)
“Dekker outdoes the masters of the thriller genre with a plot so compelling, so effective, so full of twists and turns that readers are kept on the edge of their seats right to the last few pages.”
— Robert Liparulo, author of the Dreamhouse Kings Series“Masterfully takes readers on a ride full of plot twists and turns…A compelling tale of cat and mouse…An almost perfect blend of suspense, mystery, and horror.”
— Publishers Weekly“Dekker’s pacing is relentless, and the ongoing consideration of evil is intriguing.”
— Booklist" This is the first Ted Dekker novel I ever read. I was hooked, and haven't stopped reading his books since. I love the suspense and the plot that wont let you put his books down. "
— Katie, 2/19/2014" This was a great book! As always Ted Grabs you from the start and keeps you guessing until the very end! So much fun! "
— smalls, 2/19/2014" not as good as Obessed. "
— Amy, 2/12/2014" This has been the only book I've ever read that I could accomplish nothing until I was finished with it. Great thriller. Love it. "
— Dana, 2/2/2014" awesome! twisted and full of twists! ;) "
— Melanie, 1/20/2014" I liked this a lot, but that may be because I don't attempt to predict endings. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, so if you're like me and just go along for the ride without trying too hard to guess what's going to happen, you'll enjoy it. If you're like my husband, however, the ending will probably make you groan and say, "Really, Dekker? Reeeeeally?" "
— Jaimie, 1/19/2014" Meh! Had some suspensful parts, but it seemed once I figured out what was going on, it dragged on forever. Was on okay time killer. "
— Renee, 1/17/2014" Suspenseful and very good "
— Lori, 1/15/2014" A really enjoyable read with a fantastic mix of mystery, philosophy and faith. I kept changing my guess about the end of the book right up until the end. "
— Kimberley, 1/9/2014" never saw the end coming. very cool. "
— Kris, 1/6/2014" One of the worst books I've ever read. I drank heavily in an attempt to forget the ludicrous drivel that this "author" passed of as a novel. "
— Brandon, 12/24/2013" Great book with an amazing twist that I didn't see coming! "
— Cyndi, 12/14/2013" My daughter-in-law read it and she thought it was very good, so I read it and truly love the mystery to keep me wondering . "
— Linda, 11/27/2013" I really liked it. Awesome twist at the end. They should try to make a movie of this one. "
— Jamaie, 10/12/2013" This book freaked me out, but I couldn't put it down! "
— Lisa, 8/8/2013" I love Ted Dekker, but this one was a disappointment. I can compare it to an M. Night Shyamalan flick. The beginning, the middle, all the build up was really good, but the ending sucked. Too extreme for believability...and I wish Dekker would stay away from such exhaustingly generic names. "
— Anna, 1/11/2013" I tried to get into this...I really did! But the characters didn't thrill me, the ending annoyed me...the only thing I liked was the initial story idea, but I didn't feel like it was brought to its full potential. "
— Briana, 12/27/2012" Very unexpected! "
— Kristi, 9/14/2012" Ted Dekker is an amazing writer. "
— Rose, 9/2/2012" This one is a wicked ride from the beginning to the end. I absolutely enjoyed this read. Once I started to read it I could not put it down. Highly recommend it to those who like page turners. "
— Christina, 5/30/2012" Creepily good. "
— Jacquie, 4/26/2012" I enjoyed this book.....I was always trying to guess the ending. Just when I had it figured out, they changed it! My kind of book! "
— cristina, 2/13/2012" Loved the book. Kept me guessing until the end. "
— Richard, 10/13/2011" Kept me guessing what was happening. "
— Carla, 7/2/2011" Another great book, similar to the 6th sense, also was a decent movie. "
— Faith, 6/13/2011" Maybe a little predictable, but action and thrill from the get-go. "
— Jenn, 5/16/2011" Loved it! (duh!) My heart was beating so fast as I read it! "
— Kayley, 5/14/2011" i have a new fav. book. I have a new fav. book. I have a new fav. book! ;) "
— Brenna, 5/9/2011" My wife loved this book and was just in awe of the ending. To be honest, I had it figured out by page 16. Seriously. But I still enjoyed it. Not a bad book and definitely a good story. "
— Jeff, 5/8/2011" Three is a enjoyable, suspenseful novel until the end, when it becomes completely illogical and unbelievable. I like a surprise ending, but not one that doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the story. "
— Gayle, 5/5/2011" Could not put this book down! Such an intense thriller. Lots of twists and turns. "
— Bon, 5/5/2011" This is good but I could see this one a mile away. Was wriiten well and you were rooting for the main guy the whole time. "
— Robin, 5/4/2011" Mind bending. Thrilling. Couldn't put it down. "
— Amy, 5/1/2011" This book was amazing. It leads you to a certain conclusion at the beginning and then blows your mind! Great book.<br/> "
— Mitchell, 4/27/2011" I impressed myself with this airport read. I must say, it read fast and actually kept me engaged throughout the book. My stuffy old academic mind isn't used to that type of stimulation... "
— Andrew, 4/26/2011" It was pretty good. I actually didn't see the twist in the end. "
— Kayla, 4/26/2011" One of my favorite books because I did not predict the ending. I really like Dekker's style of writing. Great stand alone book. "
— Joel, 4/25/2011" Cover made it lookscary and it wasn't at all. <br/> "
— Kenny, 4/24/2011" Another favorite! It's hard to do, but this one surprised me. Suspenseful, wonderful characters and an awesome point of view. "
— Marletta, 4/15/2011" The suspense in this book is great. Very few books can you read and not figure out till the very end. It was not only a shock but worth the trip. Love Ted Dekker's books. "
— Sharon, 4/11/2011" Wow! Ted Dekker really can write thrillers. The book was amazing and the ending was totally unexpected. "
