Doug Richardson is a masterful storyteller!

"True Believers" is neatly woven and compelling with a fabric populated by real people caught up in lives and a political arena that is all too real...As an avid reader and a (screen/t.v.) writer for over twenty years "True Belivers" captured my attention totally. I couldn't put it down until I finished the last page.It is a taut, suspenseful rollercoaster ride, filled with people and a political arena that are so well etched you're hooked from page one; pulled into lives that smack with such reality you forget that you're reading a book and become a voyeur watching characters grow and change as they reveal intimate moments.It was like peeling a grape. Each layered chapter brought forth the bitter-sweetness of life and left you with an aftertaste for more long after the book is finished.Filled with such subtlety and foreshadowing, the book demands a second read, so that one can catch the almost visceral nuances missed in the first enthralling pass.

Terrifying

This is one the best books I have had the joy of ever reading. You will pick your jaw up off of the floor. Be ready to stay up all night - the characters are riveting and complex. The storyline, while on the brink of unreal is edgy enough to make you think twice. DO NOT PASS THIS BOOK UP> I will purchase anything this man writes, sight unseen.

Richardson made a "Believer" out of me.

The plot was ingenious yet remained realistic. The characters were multi-faceted and interesting, what made them realistic was their imperfections. A fantastic book, True Believers kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I anxiously await the next offering from Doug Richardson.

The Fugitive Meets Charles Manson

I loved this book. It is destined to be a suspense classic in the same class as The Fugitive. I couldn't put it down. If this doesn't become a hit summer movie I would be shocked.

A wicked union of Blind Ambition and Silence of Lambs...

Doug Richardson's True Believers puts forth a very readable page turner that wickedly pellets beltway politics, the penal system, and motherhood with a hardy and interesting "What If" scenario. The premise may stretch plausibility a little, but then again, news events of the last decade wouldn't have seemed possible in the not so distant past. The writing gives us an insiders view of the machinations of high politics and the wacked out world of a messianic cult. The idea of politics and terror isn't new but I don't recall it being delivered with such edgy forthrightness and humor. If you like a good,juicy, blood-rare slice of thriller, I recommend this one with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
