His discovery of a worldwide conspiracy cabal that is attempting to overwhelm and overthrow the Representative Republic of the United States of America will put his life, and the lives of others in danger—but Blake won’t stop.

    “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
