Deep State by Chris Hauty

A recently elected president in an increasingly polarized Washington DC is the backdrop for the new thriller, Deep State, by Chris Hauty. When the White House chief of staff is found dead in his home, it appears to be natural causes to everyone except for an ambitious intern. Hayley Chill is recently out of the army and fresh to Washington DC as a White House intern.

Haley is convinced the chief of staff is the victim of foul play. She also knows there is no one to trust and if she is going to figure out what's going on she's going to have to do it mostly by herself. Her suspicions turn out to be true when her own life is placed in jeopardy by her pursuit of the truth. There's a conspiracy that could threaten the United States and maybe the very life of the President. The Deep State is real and it will fight to protect itself. The only thing standing in its way is Hayley Chill.

Deep State is going to be the thriller everyone is talking about in 2020. There are a lot of great authors and a lot of great thrillers coming out this year. Chris Hauty does something that few of them do: he'll surprise you.

Haley is a tough-as-nails protagonist and someone who is easy to rally behind. She shows great skill and tenacity. The story moves along at a breakneck clip with plenty of action along the way. Surprises keep coming one after the other in this outstanding debut thriller. This is a book that you're going to want to talk to other people about. Fast-paced, twisty plot and great characters make this a book that demands to be read. Highly recommended.
