CODENAME: BLACKJACK – Rusty McClure and David Stern (Released November 1st, 2024)
Book Description:
They have been with us since our nation’s founding. A secret society composed of patriots of all creeds and colors, drawn from all walks of life. Hidden in plain sight, hidden beneath the banner of a Revolutionary War organization formed by our country’s founding fathers, they come together when America’s need is greatest to fight the forces of evil our government cannot.
Esperanza Harper is a high-powered attorney for the United States Department of Justice—the head of a multi-national, multi-agency task force charged with investigating economic terrorism. But she is also a member of the secret Cincinnati—a chapter of which is based out of Washington D.C. Weeks ago, the head of that chapter—United States Senator Garrett Crandall–died in a freak car accident. Now a mysterious phone call brings Espy to a secret rendezvous where she learns that accident was in fact, murder. A murder that sets in motion a chain of events that lead Espy and her team to a secret cache of decades-old documents. Documents that contain clues not to just the murder of Senator Crandall, but to the truth behind the events that took place over sixty years ago in Dallas, Texas.
Clues to who really committed the most shocking murder in our country’s history. Clues that send Espy and her team racing across the country—racing against time—before the deadly killers can strike again.
In Blackjack, NYT Bestselling Authors Rusty McClure ( Two Brothers And A Business Empire That Transformed The Nation) and David Stern (The Blair Witch Project Dossier) have teamed up to craft a page-turner of the highest order—a thriller with elements ripped from today’s headlines.
My Quick Thoughts: 4/5 stars – I don’t know about you, but these are some gorgeous covers, and hiding beneath them are some crazy twisty tales of espionage and conspiracy. If you love government conspiracy theories and secret societies in your mysteries, then this is the book series for you! Espy was so much fun. She and her team made for one intense story – this is the definition of good suspense. I couldn’t stop flipping the pages and the details sprinkled in from our nation’s history, and the biggest conspiracy of all made for an exciting and gripping read!
