The Greatest Good (Garrison Chase Thriller Book 1)by Craig N. Hooper
Available through September 03 at
Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
“Everything a suspense reader could desire from a thriller.” Midwest Book Review.
The first book in this fast-paced, action-packed thriller series starring Garrison Chase.
Back on the job after a year’s suspension, former operative turned federal agent Garrison Chase is looking to redeem himself in the Bureau’s eyes. Which should be easy, given his assignment is a routine protection detail for Stanley Tuchek, the California governor’s son.
But on the first morning of protection all hell breaks loose when Chase’s house is nearly blown up and Stanley is shot a few hours later. Furious, the governor fires Chase and tells him to stay far away from Stanley.
Chase doubles down instead, using Stanley as bait to lure the assassin. Which works. But when he comes face to face with the hitman, Chase is stunned to learn the assassin’s identity. Even more shocking is who sent him.
Suddenly Chase doesn’t know if his past is back to haunt him or if Stanley isn’t as innocent as he seems.
It’s a race against time–and against powerful enemies he didn’t know he had–to find answers. And if he doesn’t find them quickly, Garrison Chase is as good as dead.
Perfect for fans of Reacher, Rapp, Bosch, and Bourne.

The International Bestseller!
Recommended by Oprah Magazine ∙ Cosmo ∙ PopSugar ∙ SheReads ∙ Parade ∙ and more!
An epic saga from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Dray based on the true story of an extraordinary castle in the heart of France and the remarkable women bound by its legacy.
Most castles are protected by men. This one by women.
A founding mother…
1774. Gently-bred noblewoman Adrienne Lafayette becomes her husband, the Marquis de Lafayette’s political partner in the fight for American independence. But when their idealism sparks revolution in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must renounce the complicated man she loves, or risk her life for a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
A daring visionary…
1914. Glittering New York socialite Beatrice Chanler is a force of nature, daunted by nothing—not her humble beginnings, her crumbling marriage, or the outbreak of war. But after witnessing the devastation in France firsthand, Beatrice takes on the challenge of a lifetime: convincing America to fight for what’s right.
A reluctant resistor…
1940. French school-teacher and aspiring artist Marthe Simone has an orphan’s self-reliance and wants nothing to do with war. But as the realities of Nazi occupation transform her life in the isolated castle where she came of age, she makes a discovery that calls into question who she is, and more importantly, who she is willing to become.
Intricately woven and powerfully told, The Women of Chateau Lafayette is a sweeping novel about duty and hope, love and courage, and the strength we take from those who came before us.
