In the Shadows of the Republic

By Arnold Rodriguez

When former FBI operative Adam uncovers a secret recording tied to a sprawling criminal syndicate, he's thrust into a shadow war that stretches from small-town newsrooms to the highest reaches of global power.

The syndicate controls everything-politicians, police, corporations, even the flow of truth itself.

To expose it, Adam must outwit Julia, a calculating CIA asset turned power broker whose seductive charm hides lethal ambition. But the deeper he dives, the more he realizes that Julia isn't the woman she once was-and the one person who might save him, Eva, may no longer be on his side.

As alliances crumble and the line between justice and survival blurs, Adam is forced into a game where every move could be his last. The Red Door Syndicate is everywhere-its reach global, its greed limitless, its vengeance merciless.
From Washington to Moscow, from dark alleys to glittering boardrooms, the battle for truth ignites a reckoning that could unravel the world order itself.

And when love becomes the final battlefield, Adam must decide-will he fight to save the truth, or die protecting the lie?

Based on actual events.

"A razor-edged political thriller pulsing with seduction, betrayal, and the price of truth."

"Think Jason Bourne meets House of Cards-fast, ruthless, unforgettable."
