FBI Agent Mike Saville is already on thin ice with the Bureau when investigative journalist Davy Clough walks into his office with an impossible story. Clough claims he's uncovered evidence of massive government corruption, but he's killed before he can provide proof. The local medical examiner rules it suicide. Case closed. Except Saville doesn't believe it. In Washington, D.C., Park Police Sergeant Lowri Pritchard is asking dangerous questions about another apparent suicide: Deputy White House Counsel Victor Farnsworth, found dead in West Potomac Park. The evidence doesn't match the official story, but when Lowri pushes for answers, she's told to back off. The case is closed. Move on. She won't. What connects these deaths? A revolutionary software program called SAINTS that can track anyone, anywhere. Stolen from its creator and weaponized by government agencies, the program is worth hundreds of millions. People will kill to protect it. People have killed to protect it. As Saville and Pritchard's unsanctioned investigation intensifies, they uncover a network of staged suicides, corrupt officials, and a conspiracy that links a small-town sheriff, an Israeli intelligence operative, and Washington's political elite. But someone is always one step ahead. A decorated detective with a taste for torture. A grieving widow with secrets of her own. And somewhere in the shadows, the person who orchestrated it all. The deeper they dig, the deadlier it gets. Perfect for fans of political thrillers that don't pull punches , THE JUDAS SAINTS delivers a relentless story of corruption, conspiracy, and the cost of seeking truth in a city built on lies. With authentic procedural detail, morally complex characters, and a plot that twists through the dark underbelly of government power, this thriller asks a chilling question: What happens when the people sworn to protect us are the ones we need protection from? If you love the political intrigue of Brad Thor, the procedural authenticity of Michael Connelly, and the conspiracy depth of David Baldacci, THE JUDAS SAINTS delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you reading late into the night. Justice isn't blind in Washington. It's for sale. And some truths are worth killing for. "Author Keith M. Spence demonstrates that he is a master of the rapid paced action/adventure political thriller genre. Although a work of deftly crafted fiction, 'The Judas Saints' resonates with the pervasive present day perceptions of corruption, conspiracy, and morally bankrupt governmental and presidential power of today's Washington. Original, exceptional, and an inherently fascinating page-turner of a read from start to finish." - Midwest Book Review "A sharply written, procedurally inflected political thriller. 5 stars ." - Indies Today "The Judas Saints is a shining work of political thriller fiction, giving you exactly what you came for—and then some." - Independent Book Review Keith M.
