In His Wake

By Chad Zunker

Book Overview

A political assassination draws an investigative reporter into a far-reaching conspiracy in a riveting thriller by Chad Zunker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Wife You Know and Family Money.

The death of reporter Dean Dawson's estranged father in a boating accident leaves Dean and his brothers with mixed emotions. After all, the man abandoned his family and lived a life of inexplicable lies and broken promises. But four months after that fatal night cruise, their father is becoming a greater mystery than they imagined.

When a presidential candidate is assassinated in Austin, Dean is contacted by April North, his former girlfriend and an associate of Dean's father at a powerhouse law firm. She's stumbled upon a shocker. A cryptic text she wasn't supposed to see on her boss's phone not only implicates the firm in the assassination but also suggests that Dean's father may still be very much alive.

As the brothers are pulled into a dark conspiracy, Dean and April are on the run as the next targets of a mysterious assassin--and one kill shot away from discovering the truth and a father's dangerous secrets.

Powerful People and Their Secrets

Another enjoyable read by Chad Zunker. It was pretty fast-paced and kept me reading and interested. The story involved three brothers, one an FBI agent, one a journalist, and one a law school student who believe their Dad died in a boating accident. Then a presidential candidate is assassinated and an ex-girlfriend of the journalist comes to him with a text involving the top man at the law firm she works for, which also happens to be the law firm the deceased dad was a partner in, and that high powered lawyer possibly hiring a known assassin and paying for a hit on the presidential candidate and you have the makings of a fast paced story. I look forward to reading more from this author.
