'Hayley Chill is relentlessly smart and brave' KARIN SLAUGHTER, Sunday Times bestselling author
Ex-White House intern Hayley Chill is in training as an MMA fighter, trying to leave her past behind her. But hard as she may try to escape it, the past finds her. Under the floorboards of her father's house, she uncovers a ciphered document titled âThe Stormâ. More Clues lead her into the Deeper State.
What begins as incidental evidence of a subculture of white supremacy within the US military emerges as a much more extensive and dire threat. Hayleyâs lonely and often violent investigative pursuit travels up a mysterious cabalâs chain of command, leading to the revelation of a fully-realized conspiracy to break off several southern states from the US, forming a new country and one founded on white nationalist ideals. It is up to Hayley Chill alone to stop a second civil war before it starts, while at the same time revealing the ultimate truth about her own fatherâs role in this harrowing chapter of American history.
A political mystery for our time, Storm Rising is perfect for fans of Gregg Hurwitz and Terry Hayes and series like The Bodyguard and Designated Survivor.
