Bookseller Reviews

"With False Accusations, Alan Jacobson showed he has a gift for creating the unexpected. With The Hunted, he proves it. He's done it again, with a turn-on-a-dime ending. I won't say what it is, because I don't want to ruin it, but the twist in The Hunted is perfectly logical, totally unexpected, and adds to the total enjoyment of the story. This guy flat out knows how to write suspense." 
–Barrett Fankhauser, Hastings Books & Music Marketing Manager

"Jacobson's thrillers keep you going to the end! Plan on staying up late as you won't be able to put it down."
–Tom Hedtke, Borders General Manager, Sacramento, CA

"Part of a new breed of suspense writers, Alan Jacobson is one of those authors that makes it fun to work in a bookstore. Jacobson's first novel, False Accusations, had me guessing till the very end--as did his new thriller, The Hunted. With a main character that is deep and well-developed, dialogue that is driven yet at times perfectly humorous, and a plot with plenty of twists and turns, The Hunted is a perfect follow-up.

I would put Jacobson up against Baldacci...and go so far as to say that Jacobson's intelligent and less graphically violent style puts him above even James Patterson.

Bottom line is that when customers come in my store looking for a great read in this genre, Alan Jacobson is on a very short list of authors I don't hesitate to recommend.  Tell a friend about The Hunted.  It's fun stuff recommending good books."
–CJ Snow, General Manager, Brentano’s Books, Scottsdale, Arizona

"Wow! Superlative writing—captivating suspense…a wonderful read!"
-Joan Hansen, Men of Mystery, Westminster, CA (on False Accusations)

"False Accusations caught me completely by surprise.  I reread the ending 3 times.  The next morning I got the book out again and reread the last paragraph thinking the daylight might reveal the truth.  I really enjoyed it!"
–Jean Kelly, Manager, Barnes & Noble, Fairfield, CA

”The Hunted delves into an area that has suddenly become a hot topic. Jacobson provides some thoughtful answers about the fallout--I can't name it without spoiling the suspense--and how surprisingly people cope with events forced upon them--or choices they make. I can see a movie in its pages."
–Barbara Peters, The Poisoned Pen, Scottsdale, AZ

"At Barnes and Noble we pick a book as our special book, and I plan to use The Hunted as my choice. It's full of action and adventure, a very good story." 
-Linda Keough, Barnes & Noble bookseller, Boynton Beach, FLA

"Wonderful!! I was sick this past weekend and had a chance to read False Accusations pretty much in one sitting - that's a sign of success!! It was a great book. I look forward to the next one!"
-Erika Cowan, Borders Manager, Tukwila, WA

"Jacobson once again weaves a tale of tantalizing suspense with characters that come alive. The Hunted is pure gold."
–Davina Fankhauser, Book Buyer, Hastings Books Corporate Office

"I love (his) books...The Hunted has multi-dimensional characters, a foundation of research, and a page-turning plot with the unexpected "Jacobson twist" at the end."
-Joan Hansen, Men of Mystery, Westminster, CA

"I could not believe what I was reading when I came to the very end of the book. "I kept on re-reading the last sentence, because I could not believe it. It was a great read...I truly enjoyed myself through the journey. And I'm not even a Mystery reader!"
-Barbara Tavres, Borders Area Marketing Manager (Union City, CA)
