What Is the Secret of the 25?
It's the year 2022. In Boston, Massachusetts, the FBI is battling the 25, a mysterious and deadly extremist group that's targeting and assassinating the president's alt-right supporters.
Young special agent Reggie Jennings is assigned to infiltrate the terror cell. But Reggie's never been an undercover officer before, and his lack of experience shows. When sparks fly during a chance encounter with Gina Rozelli, the beautiful, but fiery, sister of one of the suspected terrorists, Reggie gets drawn into a dangerous game. He must play the part of the interested boyfriend, while constantly lying to Gina to keep his secret.
But as Reggie gets closer to his new love...and closer to piercing the veil of secrecy surrounding the 25...the tension mounts. Is the terrorist's sister the person she says she is? Or is she part of the group? And even if Gina is innocent, will she figure out Reggie's true identity in time to tip off her brother--before the FBI can capture him and stop the carnage?
In Ace Bryant's pulse-pounding debut novel, almost nothing is as it first appears. It's a chilling, post-Trumpian thriller with the year's most shocking twist ending.
Praise for The 25:
Thriller fans seeking solid tension, satisfying twists, and turns of plot ...will find The 25 a riveting book that opens with all its guns blazing, and keeps the action and tension high until the end in a thought-provoking story of lies, truths, and the foundations of everyday terrorism. --D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
Yes, I could see all of this happening - and I don't think we will need to wait until 2022. I'd love to see Reggie come back to us in a sequel. While The 25 is categorized as occult horror fiction, I have to disagree. I'd place it in the category of suspense/thriller mystery. For anyone looking for a fabulous thriller, pick up a copy of The 25-you won't be disappointed. --Linda Thompson, Host of The Authors Show
I enjoyed the chick-lit aspects of The 25 (yes, I am a sucker for a romance; sue me). I was enthralled by the suspense and captivated by Ace's fictional world. --Stacey J. Miller, Author, Getting Past Childhood Bullying: How Adults Can Recover From Bullying That Began at School
