An all designated culprit

Tim lost his wife following the tragic explosion of the boat and as if that were not enough, it is always suspected of killing the detective then responsible for the investigation .. and as if that were not enough, he met the night Eve a man who confesses a crime .. and as if that were not enough, he is suspected of this crime too .. and as if that were not enough, the police made the connection between Tim and a possible terrorist threat .. . and so on. Suffice to say that Tim is in a downward spiral.

This thriller does not fit a priori in my selection criteria. Usually I look for thrillers with literary, social and psychological qualities (three if possible!) And I'm not so attracted so huge plots they necessarily involve the President of the United States. "You alone" clearly falls into the second category but has nevertheless revealed a surprise because the mechanics are well oiled. The plot is well put together. The twists keep apace and remain credible. Herrings are induced and revelations are gradually distilled to a convincing conclusion.
