About this ebook

Imagine answering your cell phone to a mysterious voice that gives you three minutes to confess your sin or you die. You have one huge problem: you don't have a clue what that sin is.

Kevin Parson escaped a twisted childhood and built his own life, leaving his bizarre past behind him. . .until his cell phone rings and a gravelly voice calling himself Slater tells him he has just three minutes to confess his “sin” or his car will be blown to pieces.

Kevin panics. Who would make such a demand, and what sin is he supposed to confess? Not sure what else to do, Kevin swerves into a parking lot and runs from his car. . . just in case. Exactly three minutes later, a massive explosion sets his world on a collision course with madness.

Obsessed both with Kevin's downfall and the number 3, Slater initiates a game in which Kevin must answer riddles to avoid Slater's destructive, murderous retribution.

Ratings and reviews

Kevin Parson was raised by his Aunt Belinda in an isolated world. All grown up, he has thrown the past behind him and is now a theology student. When he starts getting phone calls from a mysterious man named Slater, his whole world is turned upside down. With visits from people from his past and old memories cropping up after he writes his thesis, Kevin's life is about to change. And so is yours. He has three minutes to confess his greatest sin to the world...or else. The only problem is that Kevin doesn't know what sin he is supposed to confess. Dive into Ted Dekker's first-published thriller, Thr3e; you won't be sorry. Read about Kevin, Sam and Slater and how much they are all very different, and yet alike. You won't guess the ending unless you're Ted Dekker himself.

Once again I have ventured into the world of suspence. I have seen things that one can not see. I have understood the true nature of human beings. This book was amazing. I enjoyed reading it and it kept me going till the very end. Ted Dekker is a true master of suspence and the ways of our world. The truth and the lies both are revealed in this book. Thr3e was an awesome page turner and I would recomend it to all my friends

Great writing. I kind of suspected something was up when first introduced to the young playmate. Then I blew it off. Turns out it was what I expected but I wouldn’t have thought that was how the story would end. Especially with Slater too. A 3 in 1...but really good story, and heartbreaking at the same time!
