ABOUT THE BOOK
The RED HOTEL series continues by noted thriller writer Gary Grossman and global executive Ed Fuller.
America’s infrastructure is under attack!
When terrorists bomb bridges that cross the Potomac, the Mississippi, Pittsburgh’s three rivers, and the Lincoln Tunnel under the Hudson, America realizes how vulnerable we are. Hoover Dam could be next, threatening energy and water services throughout the Southwest. All of the attacks had been predicted in a secret U.S. State Department Bureau of Intelligence report written years earlier, a virtual blueprint for disaster, somehow leaked and now in the hands of foreign operatives. Who is responsible? While Washington is distracted domestically, Russian President Nicolai Gorshkov sends troops to the borders of Ukraine and Latvia, ready to move in.
This is the background into which Dan Reilly leaps head first, initially helping victims on Washington’s 14th Street Bridge, then traveling to South America and throughout Europe in an attempt to put meaning to seemingly disparate clues. Along the way, his attempts are thwarted by a deadly Russian woman agent and a sleeper cell operative who has infiltrated his world.
The pressure grows and the clock ticks as Reilly finds himself torn between two loyalties – his company’s international business and his counter-terrorism activities for the CIA. The conflict heightens when the FBI discovers that Reilly was the author of the State Department report and could be the possible source of the leak. At the same time, a New York Times reporter begins to put the pieces together. She sets off on Reilly’s trail across Europe and into Ukraine as Russian Federation tanks close in. The stakes escalate when the U.S. Vice President, an inept, despotic political figure, must step into the White House following an ingenious assassination plot against the current president. Meanwhile, North Korea becomes a player in Russia’s ultimate deceptive scheme by creating a Cuban Missile Crisis-type nuclear distraction in Venezuela, confounding the Acting President, thereby allowing Russian troops to cross from Crimea and take Kiev.
Circumstances, experience, and daring thrust Dan Reilly into the epicenter of this all-too real geo-political crisis which targets him for assassination and puts the world at risk.
Intelligence experts and thriller authors concur. RED DECEPTION is, “Fiction that’s all too real,” “An adrenalin laden thriller as true to life as it gets,” “A can’t put down nail-biter,” “Fact-rich, expertly fit together like a giant jigsaw puzzle,” “A page-turner by authors who might as well sit on the National Security Council.”
RED DECEPTION. Deceit, manipulation, and betrayal on a global scale.

“RED DECEPTION provides an in-depth and realistic ground level view of the type of asymmetric Nation-state sponsored threats faced by the Agencies tasked with protecting the United States both domestically and abroad. Thoroughly researched with thrilling pacing, it follows a worst case scenario with the resulting fallout and a complex investigation that unfolds all over the Globe.”

“As the former Director of Intelligence (J2) for the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii and Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon, I know these dangerous scenarios are plausible, which makes RED DECEPTION all the more thrilling. Infrastructure attacks, Russian aggression, bumbling national leaders, North Korea malign activity, Venezuelan dangers – Fuller and Grossman’s exciting story mirrors reality. Oh, and the U.S. needs more heroes like their daring CIA Officer Dan Reilly!”
