The Puppet Masters: A Jake Cavanaugh Thriller (The Jake Cavanaugh Thriller Series)

By Thomas Higgins

They control the president. They control the media. They almost controlled him. When Secret Service agent Jake Cavanaugh stumbles upon a clandestine meeting between the newly elected president and a secretive cabal of billionaires known as The Pinnacle Collective , he uncovers a plot more sinister than anything he's trained to confront. These men don't just influence policy--they own it. Through blackmail, backroom deals, and media manipulation, they're orchestrating a silent coup to dismantle democracy and rebuild society in their own image. Framed for a crime he didn't commit and betrayed by the very institution he swore to protect, Cavanaugh is forced off the grid. Hunted by government agencies and private mercenaries, his only hope lies with a rogue resistance of ex-intelligence operatives, whistleblowers, and digital anarchists. But even among allies, trust is a fragile currency. As the resistance fights a covert war of information, sabotage, and survival, Cavanaugh becomes an unlikely symbol of rebellion. But with a double agent in their ranks and the president himself embracing the cartel's agenda, the line between friend and foe blurs fast. To stop The Pinnacle Collective, Jake must risk everything--his life, his reputation, and the people he cares about--for one final shot at the truth. The Puppet Masters is a razor-sharp political thriller about power, betrayal, and the cost of exposing a lie built on billions. If you love high-stakes espionage, shadowy conspiracies, and heroes who won't back down, this explosive novel will keep you turning pages deep into the night.
