ABOUT THE BOOK
A new international thriller by noted thriller writer Gary Grossman and global executive Ed Fuller.
Terrorists bomb a hotel in Tokyo, but the reverberations are felt around the world. A high ranking Kremlin diplomat is assassinated. A building in Kiev blows up. Russia begins to amass forces along its western borders. Former Army intelligence officer Dan Reilly, now an international hotel executive with high-level access to the CIA, believes the plot is much bigger than anyone imagines, involving the empire-building, Putin-esque president of Russia.
Reilly begins a globe-hopping search for answers as the clock ticks down to a climactic event in Brussels that threatens NATO and the very security of member nations. RED HOTEL weaves his experiences into an incredibly timely global thriller that’s fiction on the edge of reality.
When a bomb rips through the facade of the Kensington Hotel in Tokyo, dozens are killed and injured while one man walks calmly away from the wreckage, a coy smile playing on his lips. Former Army intelligence officer Dan Reilly, now an international hotel executive with high level to access to the CIA, makes it his mission to track him down.

“Laced with drama culled from recent events, RED HOTEL places the reader directly into the role of intelligence analyst and operative as well as business and political strategist. Read RED HOTEL and it’s doubtful you’ll ever travel again without conjuring up possible intrigue from observations that used to seem like normal occurrences. Be suspicious staying overnight. A smart book.”

Top Shelf Magazine Book Review
Gary Grossman and Ed Fuller have woven an international shocker that questions why hotels are not protected the same way air travel is, and why no one is taking the lead on this issue.
Alternative-Read Interview with Gary Grossman & Ed Fuller
Red Hotel by Gary Grossman and Ed Fuller brings to life, in a thrilling novel, the dangers of soft targets. Using his past experiences as an overseer of Marriott International’s Global Security Strategy, and now President of the Irvine, California-based Laguna Strategic Advisors, a global consortium that provides business consulting services to corporations and governments, Fuller is able to help create a realistic plot with political thriller writer Grossman.
Suspense Magazine talks to Ed & Gary about RED Hotel
Q: Your book starts off with a bang. Literally, when the Kensington Royal Hotel in Tokyo is bombed. As in real life, hotels are now ideal targets for terrorists. Why?
Ed Fuller: Hotels are called “soft targets” when compared to Embassies, military bases, etc. In international countries, American branded hotels become targets. Condoleezza Rice commented recently that, after 9/11, hotels became known as “soft targets” as they are unable to be hardened much like a U.S. embassy. Many times, they don’t have the stand-off distance or the physical security measures in place such as an embassy.
