A federal agent quits his job after his warning about a terrorist attack goes unheeded. A woman fleeing her abusive lover realizes her safety will forever be cruelly out of reach. An American visitor to Ireland learns that he will always be too much of an outsider to understand the country's politics and cultures.

In the world of Who Will Hear Your Secrets? fragile human relationships are marked by lies, betrayals, suppressed memories, and rare moments of joy. Whether examining broken communications between lovers or the misunderstandings that destroy old friendships, these stories concern the issues that divide us, in a world where the present is haunted and sometimes overpowered by the past, and the future holds only the possibility—never the assurance—of forgiveness.

This is Robley Wilson's sixth story collection. Speaking of his first collection, Kurt Vonnegut said, "His writing is an admirable demonstration of the continuing vitality of the short story form, and handsome proof that we are not mistaken when we continue, with Mr. Wilson, to love it so."
