DEAD RINGER

Chris Hauty

A Thriller

Nationally bestselling author Chris Hauty, one of the high-octane writers "to take the thriller world by storm" (The Real Book Spy), returns with a riveting stand-alone novel that explores what might have really happened at the JFK assassination.
Set in present-day, a disgraced former Secret Service office and a Jesuit professor join forces to delve into the mysteries surrounding the events of November 22, 1963. Fixated on deciphering the conspiracies behind the history-changing assassination, they are oblivious to the fact that the cabal is still active - and may face an end as bloody as the carnage in Dealey Plaza. Will they be able to uncover the truth in time? Or will they become two more footnotes in history? Chris Hauty's debut, Deep State, was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, and Barry Award nominee. Other novels include the CALIBA Awardnominated Savage Road, and Storm Rising, as well as the acclaimed novella Insurrection Day. He currently lives in Glendale, California.
