Savage Road by Chris Hauty

Haley Chill. Part 2.

If you took our advice and read Deep State, buckle up. Haley Chill returns. This time, the Army veteran and Deep State asset has jumped up the food chain from White House intern to chief of staff for a Senior Presidential Advisor where her street smarts, guile, ‘eidetic memory’, and political savvy get her the ear of the President.  

The nation is under a series of cyber-attacks directed at utilities and news organizations. Federal response is timid at best mostly due to rival security heads unwilling to put petty jealousies aside for the sake of the nation. One side says it’s Russia. Other side thinks jihadists.

The president is stuck. Our war hero has his own deep secret. He wasn’t born in the US. Actually born in Russia, but political vetting seemed to have missed that minor detail. Despite being raised from infancy in the US, he still clings to his Russian roots to the point of being a mole . . .  and the Deep State knows about him . . . and her handlers have  Haley keeping tabs on the President . . . a President who loyalties seem to be, how shold be say it, fluid. Its Haley’s job to make sure the President stays RedWhite&Blue and not just Red.

The source of the critical hacks is elusive. The hubris of the national security chain borders on childish arguments over who owns the sandbox they play in, forcing Haley to undertake her own off the books investigation.

Let’s get one thing straight. Adding Savage Road to his debut Deep State, Chris Hauty brings a knack for plot twists to the political thriller genre that cannot be denied. Savage Road kicks ass. Clear the calendar, start a fire, get comfortable, gather snacks and beverages, but dont' get too comfortable because Haley will have you on the edge of your favorite reading spot. I think all three of us here at MRB have responded very favorably to Savage Road. Three for three. Can't do much better.

Oh, and did I mention it yet? I know I suggested you all need to pay attention to the publisher. Emily Bestler Books is ground zero for top shelf mysteries and thrillers. Wondering what to read next? Browse the website. Pick one. Trust me. It’ll be a winner. 

Savage Road is brand new. Just released.
