No one does conspiracy thrillers as hot and savvy as Chris Hauty. With a plethora of real-life history to draw from, Hauty infuses high adrenaline into a vivid journey all across the country to debunk possibly the darkest secret in American history.
What do a disgraced Secret Service agent and a Jesuit Professor have in common? Not their personalities. But they do share a common goal when they’re both targeted by a cabal that has been operating in the shadows and pulling the strings in history without anyone being any wiser. But as the duo hone in on the truth, the cabal sends an assassin to silence them before they can shed light on a conspiracy that’s been haunting the American public since the assassination of JFK.
Hauty brings his flair of creating the most intriguing twists and turns to this standalone adventure that catapults you right into the action before you can even utter “go”. As the characters unearth the secrets of the past, Hauty puts you in the hot seat with them and you feel that raw excitement coursing through your veins trying to get to the bottom of some of the most burning questions if you’re a history buff. It gets difficult more times than one would like to differentiate fact from fiction. Such is the nuanced nature of Hauty’s approach to conspiracies that make more sense than you’d think.
Hauty also diverges from his Hayley Chill’s series with Dead Ringer as he turns it into a buddy road trip adventure with two folks who aren’t each other’s greatest fans but learn to work together if they wish to survive. It’s endearing and fun to see their banter evolve over the pages and by the end, you feel like you’ve known them for way longer.
Dead Ringer is the perfect book for you as a thriller fan and especially as a reader who likes thinking about crazy what-ifs. Just beware that Hauty makes them sound so plausible it’ll have you googling things just to distinguish fact from fiction, a winning factor for mystery thrillers.
