Praise for this book

"Hayes delivers muscular prose, sniper-round accurate dialogue and enough superb and original plotting to fill three volumes. He balances it all with the dexterity of the accomplished storyteller that he so obviously is. I Am Pilgrim is simply one of the best suspense novels I've read in a long time." - David Baldacci

"I Am Pilgrim is a twelve-course meal of a thriller.... A breathtaking accomplishment of a debut." - Gregg Hurwitz

"'I Am Pilgrim' is [a] gripping debut novel, which pits a brilliant intelligence operative against an equally brilliant terrorist. Weighing in at over 600 pages, you get your money's worth and more with this thriller." - Brad Thor

"This murder mystery/spy thriller grabs you from the first sentence and won't let you out of its grip. A brilliant American secret agent and forensics expert is in a race against the clock to stop a terrorist with a plan to destroy the United States. Please fasten your seat belt." - Kate White
