Red Deception (The Red Hotel Book 2) Kindle Edition
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEnjoyed every minute of it and I’m so glad there is another one! Highly recommend it but I also recommend reading them in order, this being the second in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI thought The Red Hotel was amazing. Red Deception was more amazing. Can't wait to read Red Chaos. Please write #4!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021Format: HardcoverRed 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseSo 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseRED 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021Format: KindleThis 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOnce 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!
