Red Deception (The Red Hotel Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 110 ratings

Intelligence experts and thriller authors concur: Red Deception is "A page-turner by authors who might as well sit on the National Security Council."


When terrorists bomb bridges across the country and threaten the Hoover Dam, the vulnerability of America's infrastructure becomes a matter of national security. But Dan Reilly, a former Army intelligence officer, predicted the attacks in a secret State Department report written years earlier—a virtual blueprint for disaster, somehow leaked and now in the hands of foreign operatives.


With Washington distracted by domestic crises, Russian President Nicolai Gorshkov sends troops to the borders of Ukraine and Latvia, ready to reclaim what he feels is Russia's rightful territory. Tensions in Europe threaten to boil over as a besieged American president balances multiple crises that threaten to upend the geopolitical order.


This is the chaos into which Reilly leaps headfirst. Reilly's position as Global Head of Security for the Kensington Royal Hotel Corporation means he must keep his customers and staff safe as the crisis envelopes countries across three continents. His past as a State Department analyst means he recognizes the connections behind the seemingly disparate terror attacks, assassination plots, and authoritarian power plays that dominate the headlines. But it's the very knowledge that makes him good at his job that also makes him a target—to the press, to the government, and to the forces gathering for another assault on America.


Follow Reilly as he travels the world to safeguard both his company's assets and his country's secrets. With the U.S. at the mercy of an egomaniacal leader, and reporters and covert agents on his tail, he may be the one man who can connect the dots before an even bigger catastrophe unfolds.

Red Deception is the second book in the Red Hotel series.

A gripping thriller filled with political espionage
5 out of 5 stars
A gripping thriller filled with political espionage
I admit I am not an avid reader of political thrillers, but “Red Deception” had me engrossed from the first page. This book was a whirlwind, roller-coaster ride of action, adventure, and thrills! Firstly, I wasn’t aware that this is the second book in a series. But, after reading this, I surely want to pick up “Red Hotel” to see Reilly’s previous adventure. Reilly is terrific in the lead as he travels around the world, trying to stop the catastrophe. However, what’s lovely about the book is that it is not a one-person show. Although Reilly is the primary character, the author balances the plot with other memorable characters like Savannah, Moore, Marnie, and President Crowe. I particularly liked the conversations between Moore and Reilly. Similarly, Nicolai Gorshkov is so conniving that you wonder how far he would go to reclaim his territories. Moreover, the author did a fantastic job with the story and will keep you on your toes. I even found some parts difficult to read because of its theme, as it could very well happen. The plot intensifies up to a point to the brink of another world war. There are so many memorable moments in the story. Some of the most intense moments were when something happens to President Crowe to jeopardize his health and when Reilly is on the bus with the hostages in Ukraine. At the same time, I also liked the personal moments where Reilly tries to spend time with Marnie. Overall, “Red Deception” is a gripping thriller filled with political espionage, spies, and intense action. Even if you haven’t read the first book, you will thoroughly enjoy this one.

    Red Deception did not start well, in my opinion. The very short chapters were irritating and did not lead me to care about any of the characters. Thankfully this changed in Part Two and I began to enjoy the novel more. The slithering female spies were intriguing, but ultimately the protagonist Dan Reilly was the character who made the novel work. I would definitely be interested in a sequel.
    Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.

    It may sound trite, but this book comes right out of current events. The authors have predicted some events quite accurately along with some twists. All in all, another real page turner by this duo of Grossman and Fuller.

    So much experience and research went into the telling of this story by Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman. Readers will not be able to put it down and hope that terrorists will not get their hand on it. It mimics the world we face today and makes us hope there is a hero out there like Dan Reilly to keep us safe!

    RED DECEPTION jumps out of the headlines screaming reality and pointing to what very well might happen next. Rich characters, a dynamic plot, a pace that dazzles. Summer read, Fall read, Winter and Spring. Curl up with this book anytime, the second in the Red Hotel series (Though this stands alone perfectly well). Dan Reilly defines hero. A winner!

    This is 2nd in a new series. I am very hopeful about it. Suspenseful and good. Too many bad guys though. And I get tired of Americans seeming incompetent. It's a wonder how the Russians haven't already defeated and enslaved us yet!

    Once again, Grossman, this time with Fuller, has crafted a plot that rings chillingly true to real life. As with Red Hotel, it’s unputdownable - prepare to lose sleep as you race through the pages. Wonderful characters, unexpected plot twists and a writing style that is crisp and engaging. Terrific ending that leaves me impatient for Red Chaos!
