Sinopse

“Boudreaux weaves his legal and security expertise into a high velocity tale of counterterrorism and conspiracy that will grip the reader.” —Michael Chertoff, Former US Secretary of Homeland SecurityScavenger Hunt is a suspense novel chronicling the plight of Blake Hudson, a Justice Department lawyer assigned to a clandestine counterterrorist group created to bypass onerous legal requirements. After the group mysteriously disbands, Hudson becomes the scapegoat and is transformed from hunter to hunted. As he searches for answers and attempts to piece the puzzle together, people are following him, trying to kill him.Written for fans of fast-paced thrillers, dry humor, political gamesmanship, and Clue-like twists and turns, Scavenger Hunt carves out a distinct niche best described as a hybrid of the Robert Ludlum classics and works by Brad Meltzer. Blake Hudson's story addresses issues that have shaped recent elections and continue to frustrate interest groups and government leaders, while featuring the inner workings of the U.S. Department of Justice Building—arguably the most important and misunderstood agency in the federal government. Author Chad Boudreaux's unique voice and page-turning storytelling packs a plot-driven punch that readers won't be able to put down.“An intelligent thriller . . . Boudreaux makes the most of his concept, populating his page-turning plot with plausible characters and developments.” —Publishers Weekly“Readers who like a story in which someone is shoved headlong into a very different life, à la Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, are the audience for this fast-moving thriller.” —Henrietta Verma, firstCLUE“Boudreaux weaves a daunting story of treachery and puppeteering in this finely crafted race for survival.” —Best Thriller Books

    When former prosecutor and mystery writer Jenn Herrington's veterinarian husband Aaron is summoned to examine new performance horses at Big Horn, Wyoming’s WP Bar Ranch, he discovers the obnoxious California owner dead in his Jaguar at the bottom of a sheer, icy roadside cliff. Deputies arrest their beloved friend and contractor Black Bear Betty, whose tractor left tire tracks up to the cliffside, and whose disgruntlement with Glen is no secret. 
    Unlicensed in Wyoming, Jenn enlists the aid of Kid James—a painfully youthful and inexperienced local attorney whose distracting crush on Denee Hopkins has the hots for Aaron—to represent Black Bear Betty. Jenn has her own distractions: her writer’s block on her next Wyoming Mystery for her agent, and her obsession with proving former prosecutor Alfred "Pootie" Carputin is the man responsible for the nightmares and issues that have sent her to a chaplain to work through the traumatic memories of a school shooting when she was only four.  
    Jenn and Kid find no shortage of suspects in Glen’s death but can’t get past the damning evidence against Black Bear Betty, until the Herringtons take a dog sled and glamping getaway into Walker Prairie. Far from civilization and help, what they encounter there make for the best weekend of their life . . . or their last.

    Hazel's not your average cat-loving witch who owns a bakery. She's got scars, the invisible kind; growing up, her magic and her confidence were smothered by her shallow Beige Witch mom and sisters. Now, at twenty-eight, Hazel's finally coming into her power and is a force to be reckoned with in her magical community, the idyllic seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. 
    But even though the Bay appears picture-perfect, with its quaint shops and misty mornings where sea spray mingles with magic, mysteries lurk beneath its small-town charm. When Hazel's thrust into the middle of a murder investigation in order to clear her boyfriend's name, she's surprised to find allies in her former high school rivals, neurodivergent bobcat shifter Max and ex-mean-girl-cheerleader Britt (now a chill, non-judgmental vampire). Soon Hazel's helped form an unstoppable trio of supernatural detectives. Now if only hot deputy Elliot James would share police intelligence with her ... along with any other secrets he might be keeping. 
    Wrapped in warmth, humor, and the cozy comfort of found family, the Blue Moon Bay Witches series weaves together magic, mystery, and romance into a spell you won't want to break. Dive into the enchanting world of Blue Moon Bay today.
