Betrayals

By Richard Paolinelli

A CONSPIRACY DECADES IN THE MAKING. A GOVERNMENT UNDER ATTACK. SEVEN DAYS TO SAVE AMERICA.

Trust is a dangerous commodity when the people closest to you may be working for the enemy.

FBI Special Agent Jack Del Rio is still recovering from the explosive events of Reservations when he finds himself thrust into an even more dangerous investigation. This time, the threat isn't confined to a remote corner of the American Southwest. It reaches into the highest levels of the United States government.

An elaborate conspiracy, hatched in the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II, has been decades in the making. Its ultimate objective: place a Russian operative in the Oval Office and bring the United States under the control of a ruthless dictatorship.

Now the plan is reaching its final stage.

A series of assassinations threatens to destabilize the government, and the clock is ticking toward Inauguration Day. Del Rio may be the only person capable of uncovering the truth and stopping the conspiracy before it succeeds.

But there is a problem.

The deeper Del Rio digs, the more he discovers that the enemy has infiltrated the very institutions he is supposed to trust. Friends and colleagues may be compromised, powerful figures have their own agendas, and even the President of the United States may be connected to the plot.

Before he can expose the traitors, Del Rio must survive repeated attempts on his own life. With enemies closing in from every direction, he cannot afford to trust the wrong person—or waste a single day.

Seven days. A government on the brink. A conspiracy generations in the making.

Richard Paolinelli delivers a gripping political thriller filled with espionage, assassination, international intrigue, and shocking revelations.

In Betrayals, the second Jack Del Rio thriller, the greatest danger may not come from America's enemies abroad, but from those who have already found their way inside.

When everyone has something to hide, who can you trust?

REVIEW

WHERE TO BUY IT

"Paolinelli does another outstanding job with Betrayals, the second in the Jack Del Rio series. Jack grabbed me by the collar and drew me into his world; one of conspiracy, espionage, betrayal, and loyalty. The FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and our Armed Forces are what we depend on to protect us and our president. Jack never lets you nor his beloved Untied States of America down. The scenario depicted is not only plausible but also possible; that’s what makes your heart race. I am looking forward Paolinelli’s third, Shades, and fourth, Endgames, in the next year. Reservations, the first, was fabulous! Absolutely love his style."
