Jay flies to California to help out, and is soon convinced Evan's death was no suicide. The police want him to leave the matter alone but he is determined to dig deeper. When his investigation takes him on a journey into his brother's shady past, Jay finds himself caught up in a world of dangerous secrets and ruthless killers...

Gross is a master of 3-dimensional characters... compelling with its intensity.
A dark psychological thriller that moves at a fast pace... totally engrossing and one book you do not want to pass on.
Frightening, riveting and compelling journey into the darkness of the human soul, all told within the context of a classic story of good versus evil.... EYES WIDE OPEN is one wild ride, wonderfully paced from beginning to end. Impossible to put down at any point.... This is a book not to be missed.
Emotional weight... a harrowing story that works its own terrible magic on a reader... a high velocity page-turner... the personal drama moves us before the thriller elements kick into high gear.
Each and every page of this thriller makes the goosebumps stand up as high as they will go... a superb novel full of fear, chills and mind-games that are truly unforgetable!
An emotional, frightening study of evil with believable characters and a relentless pace. Readers who wear pacemakers will want to check their batteries before they open the book.
If there are tricks of the trade, Gross has learned them all. He writes with seeming ease, offering no fancy stylistic tics, no overwrought prose, no melodrama, just a menacing tale with effective twists, perfect pacing, intriguing characters, and heart-gripping suspense.
A chilling page-turner drawn from the author’s life.
Gross’s suspenseful second stand-alone thriller (after The Blue Zone) raises chills and strains credulity in almost equal measure.
A good read... an eye-opener... a dramatic story.
Gross offers dysfunction galore in this psychological thriller.
