From the back of the book:

In Palmerston, Pennsylvania, two men in long coats walk calmly into a crowded fast-food restaurant — then, slowly and methodically, gun down sixty-eight people. They take time to reload.

On the promenade of Santa Monica, California, a teenage girl gives sightseeing tips to a distinguished English tourist. She won’t be going home tonight.

In Dyersburg, Montana, a grief-stricken son tries to make sense of the accident that killed his parents — then finds a note stuffed in his father’s favorite chair. It reads: “We’re not dead.”

Three seemingly unrelated events, these are the first signs of an unimaginable network of fear that will lead one unlikely hero to a chilling confrontation with The Straw Men. No one knows who they are — or why they kill. But they must be stopped. Michael Marshall’s electrifying debut novel is an instant masterpiece of modern suspense. An epic thriller for anyone who has feared that someone is watching us.

When Stephen King calls a book "brilliantly written and scary as hell," you have to give it a read, don't you?

Will add the rest of my thoughts when finished!
