I think a lot of people can relate to the element of fear in No Good Deed. It's easy to imagine how terrifying it would feel to be unjustly accused of a crime and locked away without trial or access to even the most basic of legal rights.After Mark, the main character, finds a magic camera that enables him to "see" tragic events, he tries to help by notifying the authorities. It is then that his troubles begin and he is accused of terrorism and locked up. And tortured. Parts of the book concerning Mark's imprisonment are disturbing, but I was still drawn to keep reading to find out what would happen.The suspense elements were expertly done. I cared about Mark and rooted for him all the way, wondering the whole time how he could possibly prove his innocence. He was a thoroughly likable character and a good guy, who caught a very bad break. Other characters were less well fleshed out.No Good Deed is good book and well worth reading.
