A private detective's routine case of infidelity among Hollywood's elite leads to a transnational conspiracy of terror. Power-broker Hollywood talent manager Lyndon Fox's wife Deirdre hires epileptic LA private detective Scott Brody after a previous private detective she assigned to keep tabs on her husband's suspected infidelity is killed in Cabo San Lucas when she and her husband vacation there. An unknown assailant stalks her after she returns home. A secretive FBI agent named Peltz tells Brody that Lyndon Fox is involved with a cabal burrowed inside the FBI who, with the help of the deep state, are conspiring to take down the president of the United States. Peltz wants Brody to help him obtain evidence to expose Fox, as assailants ramp up their terrorism of the Fox family. As Deirdre's world collapses around her, she must find out the truth about who is responsible before she loses everything--including her life.

Although I did finish this book it really was a struggle. I just couldn't get into it. The premise of this novel could have been a really good read and instead for me it was only alright. I will highlight the things that contributed to my dislike of the book but that doesn't necessarily mean that someone else might enjoy this kind of novel.
In the beginning there is a constant rehash between Brody and some of the other characters regarding what happened to the previous PI without coming to any different conclusions, new evidence or opinions. I find the premise that Marcello thinks he is in a "VR game" not believable - maybe if he were actually a gamer his delusions could present that way but as he stands... nope. The epilepsy chatroom discussions are really odd to me and they didn't really help further the plot of the book itself. Sometimes the authors word choice is strange; overly descriptive of random things like clothes. The short chapters serve as a major drawback for me (there's 120) and it makes the novel seem disjointed. Lastly, the reactions of the Fox family just in general but more specifically regarding Busby & their daughter's "problem".
I really really wanted to like this book and I kept going to give it a chance but I cannot recommend it. If you think that you may like it and have Kindle Unlimited it is available - otherwise it's $4.99 in Kindle format. This book could appeal to readers of suspense and thrillers. I received this book through a GoodReads Giveaway and I appreciated the opportunity to read this book. ( )
