Trap the Devil: Thriller: Free 9-Chapter Preview
A group of some of the most powerful people in the government, the military, and the private sector, has begun a brutal plan to quietly take over the reins of the U.S. government. They’ve begun to remove the people who stand in their way—and replace them with their own sympathizers and puppets. They’ve already taken out the Speaker of the House—whose death was made to look like an accidental drowning—and the president and vice president are next. Once they have their own people in place, they plan to start a bloody, brutal war on an unimaginable scale.
On restricted duty while he recovers from injuries incurred on a previous mission, Dewey Andreas is sent to Paris by CIA Director Hector Calibrisi. The Secretary of State is going there for secret talks, and Dewey is to be an extra layer of security above the State Department team. But what should be an easy mission couldn’t go more wrong. The cabal has sent in a hit man to take out the Secretary of State and lay the blame for this murder at the feet of Dewey himself.
With the Secretary of State dead, shot by Dewey’s weapon, Dewey is on the run and out in the cold, desperately trying to unravel the plot before the conspirators succeed in killing millions of innocents. From New York Times bestselling author comes Ben Coes's Trap the Devil.

I liked it - but I wrote it so I'm a little biased!

I am just emotionally spent after this one I have got to say!! WOW!!
From the moment I started this I couldn't stop I just wanted to race to the ending. I was on the edge of my seat from the word go.
A huge conspiracy to take over the government is in motion and Dewey is being framed for the murder of the Secretary of State. But Dewey is smarter than the average bear..lol In this story you are going to feel like Dewey is taking you along for the ride with him. It feels like we get more insight into his mind. And I believe the reason for this is Coes writing.
I'm glad Ben Coes is not cranking out more than one book a year because if he were it would hinder the great writing style he has developed for our much loved characters in Dewey's stories. Coes has done a great job with the growth of these characters and they are smooth as silk.
If you haven't read any of these books your missing out on a great experience. I recommend this to one and all. Happy Reading!! And Ben Coes Thanks for sharing your talent, heart, and soul with us.~Your Faithful Reader

1-2018. Exciting, if implausible, story. Lots of fun good guys and bad guys, plenty of suspense, the usual amazing pistol shots that find a one centimeter space around an innocent bystander to kill a bad guy. I might read more in this series, but it’s wildly silly in parts.

Too short
I will be waiting for the next book if all these different scenarios are brought together into a single storyline.
