What
readers have been saying about
Bill O'Reilly's "Those Who Trespass"
Those
Who Trespass is a smartly paced murder mystery that will make
anyone working in television news sit up and pay attention
- very close attention.
-CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
Not since former CBS News producer Jon Katz . . . wrote his
inside-a-network Sign Off (1991) has a novel set off such
a guessing game in news circles.
-NEWSDAY (Syndicated)
Moves along at mystery-veteran speed, and for a talking head,
O'Reilly writes clearly, pleasingly, and well . . . it impresses
in quite a few areas.
-USA TODAY BOOKSHELF
The world TV anchor Bill O'Reilly describes in his new fictional
thriller, Those Who Trespass, isn't far from the reality of
daily news journalism, especially network TV news.
-LINDA WILLIAMSON, Toronto Sun
In his new, entertaining novel, O'Reilly absolutely blisters
the network and local news business
The really juicy
stuff for news junkies is how the news folks at a single network
routinely steal stories from each other and perform other
dirty tricks.
-PETE SCHULBERG, The Oregonian
[A] swift, entertaining 288-page read without literary pretensions
or genuflections.
-ED BARK, The Dallas Morning News
Those Who Trespass
takes you into the world of brilliant,
but demented serial killer with a totally gripping story you
will not want to put down.
-ALAN CARUBA, editor, Bookviews
This user-friendly novel-replete with direct dialogue, buzz
words, war stories, a satisfying police subplot and nifty
TV dirt-is script-stripped and beach-ready.
-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Want to know how knives are sharpened and competitors are
sabotaged inside those outwardly urbane TV newsrooms? O'Reilly
knows it all, and tells you. Electrifying stuff.
-ARTHUR HAILEY, author of Airport and Detective
A speed-read thriller that unmasks the cutthroat world of
television news. So real you'll forget it's fiction.
-VINCENT BUGLIOSI, author of Outrage and Helter
Skelter
This engaging thriller centers around a string of murders
being carried out in almost ritualistic fashion against the
major players of Global News Network (GNN) and miscellaneous
others involved in the television news industry... The real
story in Those Who Trespass, however, is that "the way
it is," as Walter Cronkite would have said, is not a
very nice way at all. O'Reilly, a veteran of Fox and an Emmy
winner himself, reveals the skullduggery that goes on under
the anchor desk and on the other side of the camera: correspondents
"bigfooting" others' stories, young climbers doing
anything to secure the anchor seat, and ratings outfits fixing
the game to suit themselves. Once you've read this, you will
understand the part of the news that's not fit to print.
-AMAZON.COM
As real and exciting as the streets of New York City. A mystery
thriller that only one of New York's finest could solve.
-WILLIAM BRATTON, former NYC Police Commissioner
Action, suspense, and a gripping first-rate tale. O'Reilly's
thriller takes the reader into a world that has been shrouded
in secrecy-up until now. A must-read, but don't expect a lot
of sleep until you've reached the end.
-COLONEL DAVID HACKWORTH, Newsweek
I have always enjoyed Mr. O'Reilly on TV, where he now toils
for Fox News. And he has written a fiction that has been [widely]
praised. Oh, yes, and Liz Smith also loved this one, from
Bancroft Press!
-LIZ SMITH, New York Post
O'Reilly knows his cop killers and his canny female reporters
and weaves a harrowing tale of revenge and murder. A chilling
dissection of the world of network news that has me locking
my office door!
-CATHERINE CRIER, hostess of Fox News Channel's
The Crier Report
Detail[s] the corrupt, often despicable world of the networks,
where pretty faces from New York conspire to appropriate the
work of those on the front lines
Nicely paced, and the
network milieu works well as a setting for murder.
-BOOKLIST
If the term "fiendishly clever" had not existed,
reviewers would have had to invent it for [this book].
-BOSTONIA, The Alumni Quarterly of Boston University
From the media swarms of Edgartown to the haphazard fury
of the Argentine riot to the big-footing, O'Reilly captures
the essence of what it's like to be there ... His novel is
vicarious fun - for those who've been there, and for those
who only watch. In Those Who Trespass, a veteran newsman has
turned his television experience - and personal animus - to
good account.
-EMILY ROONEY, Boston Magazine
Those Who Trespass is disguised as a novel, but O'Reilly
ain't fooling nobody.[He] has written one fast-paced thriller
here that will certainly entertain you
This book will
burn up the talk shows and the media gossip circuit with speculations
about who the real characters are that O'Reilly dispatches
with such gruesome and righteous glee.
-GOLD COAST, The Magazine of Florida Life
This really is a "can't put down book."
-CLAIRE COVEY, Tuscaloosa News
A compelling little journey - dark but fun. As a movie, it'll
work just fine.
-MEL GIBSON, actor and producer, in 3/02 on his
company's optioning of the book for a movie
