Although Blair was driving, he manages to frame his Danny for the accident and flees the scene. Danny, remembering nothing of the accident, takes full responsibility for the death and pays with his law career, marriage, and jail time. Blair continues on his path as a successful politician while shunning his former partner and friend. But one police detective has his suspicions about what really occurred that night and is determined to prove it and see that justice is done.This book had a little bit of everything: a mystery and police procedural; the shady side of politics; the despair of alcoholism; justice and responsibility; and the resiliency of the human spirit.Of the two main characters, Danny Moran seems almost too good to be true with the exception of his alcoholism. He's a brilliant attorney, a loving father, and a friend and mentor to many. On the other hand, Blair van Howe is what many would consider a stereotypical politician who has a major skeleton in his closet and will do anything to keep it hidden all the while running his campaign and public life as a crusader for truth and justice. The contrasts between the two former friends widens as the story develops over the decade that passes after the accident.The police detective, Vic Slazak, is shown to be a determined investigator who runs afoul of the corrupt Chicago political system. His single-minded devotion to duty and justice makes him almost like a lone avenging angel despite being threatened with death by thugs within the police department.Overall the book is somewhat like a morality play with a touch of police work and a not very subtle message, yet works due to the slow and steady progression of each character to cope with his situation in life in whatever way his personality can manage.The author has provided a list of suggested discussion questions about the details of the book at the end which seems a bit presumptuous to me, but may be of some value to book clubs or discussion groups who cannot come up with their own lists.Recommended as a refreshing change from the ordinary mystery stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2023* This book was a gem. The characters portray basic goodness and evil and demonstrate that society's perception of individuals is sometimes wrong. The book was entertaining from the first page to the very last page with many twists and turns in the plot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too preachy *by J***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 6, 2018* I enjoyed the first half of this book. It held promise of being a kind of nutshell saga in the style of Archer or Grisham, and was well peppered with realistic tales of political corruption.But then it became "preachy". Alcoholics Anonymous does fine work, and a couple of pages to remind me of that would have been fine; but it went on and on and on. Then in the final quarter of the work Danny emerges as unbelievably pious, so turning the book into a modern version of a Victorian Morality Tale. To cap it all, there is a post script of questions for students, as if this was not a simple novel at all but a textbook for young seminarians. So a good idea went badly wrong.There's also at least one serious inconsistency. Danny is said to be very meticulous about one thing; knowing he can get badly drunk, he never, ever, drives his car after drinking. And yet, he's found in the driver seat after causing an accident. So when the hangover ends, why does he not question the story that he was driving? - he does, after all, have the presence of mind to refuse to take a sobriety test, even while heavily under the influence; so why, after sleeping it off, does he not challenge the evidence and explore the possibility that someone has set him up? Instead, this hotshot lawyer turns himself into a punch bag. I don't believe that.One incident, however, I like a lot: having concluded (mistakenly) that he had caused a death, Danny lays out his net worth and invites the victim's wife to take what she wishes. That reflects a long-neglected practice from medieval Iceland. If, there, someone should kill a man (by accident, or in a brawl or even deliberately) he would go to the man's family to negotiate recompense. In only a few cases was it necessary for a court to intervene and set terms. There was no criminal trial. That was a proper justice system, unlike our own. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/11309722-when-no-one-is-watching](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/11309722-when-no-one-is-watching) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
