  “A wonderful alternative-history thriller [that] deftly weaves together influences like Phillip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler.” —Mike Stackpole, New York Times–bestselling author of I, Jedi   My name is Noel Glass. I once was a respected scientist and madly in love. All that ended with a deadly experiment that cost me the life of my fiancée. It’s 1953 and I’m a detective working the streets of Industry City. I don’t rely on instinct; science is my game. The cases I get, and the booze I drink, keep oblivion just a step away. That is, until some rich recluse walks in and tells me that accident from all those years ago was a frame job, and I was meant to take the fall. Now I have to clear my name . . . like that’s easy. Everyone’s keeping secrets. Who can I trust? Even my muscle-bound bodyguard can’t keep the hit men, spies—or my own government—from trying to put me six-feet under. You see, this secret organization believes I know something and wants to keep me quiet. All I do know is they’re aiming to remake the world into their own twisted image using a device I created. They’ve already killed one world leader, and President Eisenhower could be next. God, I could use a shot of bourbon and some answers, but neither comes cheap these days.   “Boop goes beyond the usual suspects when the conspiracy is uncovered for an unusual alternative history twist.” —The Denver Post   “Enthusiastically recommended for fantasy and science fiction enthusiasts.” —Midwest Book Review

  Five friends head on a weekend mountain getaway. Only four will return. 
  A group of writers from Nashville pile into a car and head to the mountains of north Georgia for a work retreat—and a bit of drinking and gossip. They’ve booked a cabin in the woods with no internet and no cell service, and hopefully, no interruptions. 
  Near the cabin the friends discover the beautiful but decrepit Catwood manor, abandoned decades earlier. Detritus from its final lavish dinner party remains on the tables. Writer brains spin with a thousand questions, but two stand out: Why did the Catwood family abandon their mansion during a posh affair? And why did they never return? 
  A dark cave near the house may hold the answer. But learning the secret to the family’s disappearance will be deadly.

  Torture. 
  Ghost Detainees. 
  And a massive cover-up that continues even today. 
   
  Marooned in a Manila jail after a bar fight fatality, black ops soldier Ben Treven gets a visit from his former commander, Colonel Scott Horton, who explains the price of Ben's release: find and eliminate Daniel Larison, a rogue operator from Ben's unit who has stolen ninety-two torture tapes from the CIA and is using them to blackmail the U.S. government. 
   
  But other players are after the tapes, too, and to find Larison, Ben will have to survive CIA hit teams, Blackwater mercenaries, and the long reach of the White House. He'll also have to find a way to handle Paula Lanier, a smart, sexy FBI agent who has her own reasons for wanting the tapes and is determined to get them before Ben does. With the stakes this high, everyone has an angle-everyone but Ben, who will have to find the right alliance if he wants to stay alive. 
   
  "A thrill-seeker's book.… Perhaps most interesting of all, the story is based on true events: 92 missing CIA interrogation tapes that allegedly included recordings of prisoners being tortured. Eisler's latest offering doesn't reinvent the genre, but it certainly pumps it full of adrenaline." -The Daily Beast
