returns
with
THE
HOUSE
OF
SECRETS
When
Hazel
Nash
was
six
years
old,
her
father
taught
her:
mysteries
need
to
be
solved.
He
should
know.
Hazel's
father
is
Jack
Nash,
the
host
of
America's
favorite
conspiracy
TV
show,
The
House
of
Secrets.
Even
as
a
child,
she
loved
hearing
her
dad's
tall
tales,
especially
the
one
about
a
leather
book
belonging
to
Benedict
Arnold
that
was
hidden
in
a
corpse.
Now,
years
later,
Hazel
wakes
up
in
the
hospital
and
remembers
nothing,
not
even
her
own
name.
She's
told
she's
been
in
a
car
accident
that
killed
her
father
and
injured
her
brother.
But
she
can't
remember
any
of
it,
because
of
her
own
traumatic
brain
injury.
Then
a
man
from
the
FBI
shows
up,
asking
questions
about
her
dad-and
about
his
connection
to
the
corpse
of
a
man
found
with
an
object
stuffed
into
his
chest:
a
priceless
book
that
belonged
to
Benedict
Arnold.
Back
at
her
house,
Hazel
finds
guns
that
she
doesn't
remember
owning.
On
her
forehead,
she
sees
scars
from
fights
she
can't
recall.
Most
important,
the
more
Hazel
digs,
the
less
she
likes
the
person
she
seems
to
have
been.
Trying
to
put
together
the
puzzle
pieces
of
her
past
and
present,
Hazel
Nash
needs
to
figure
out
who
killed
this
man-and
how
the
book
wound
up
in
his
chest.
The
answer
will
tell
her
the
truth
about
her
father,
what
he
was
really
doing
for
the
government-and
who
Hazel
really
is.
Mysteries
need
to
be
solved.
Especially
the
ones
about
yourself.

Recenzii
"Highly
satisfying...a
conspiracy-laden
spy
novel
that's
at
its
best
when
it's
gleefully
cutting
the
legs
out
from
the
genre's
tropes."—Publishers
Weekly
"Highly entertaining...Meltzer and Goldberg move THE HOUSE OF SECRETS at a breakneck pace...what never wavers is Meltzer's meticulous historical research, drawing on little known facts to make the past come alive....An intriguing twist pulls together the tight story of THE HOUSE OF SECRETS."—South Florida Sun Sentinel
"Nobody does historical speculation better than Meltzer, to the point where the lines between fiction and fact become utterly blurred. And that helps make THE HOUSE OF SECRETS great fun, pure reading entertainment of the highest order."—Providence Sunday Journal
"A fast-paced and twisty thriller not to be missed."—Library Journal
"Meltzer's many fans should have a good time here, as will all conspiracy-minded readers, even those not familiar with the author's brand."—Booklist
"THE HOUSE OF SECRETS packs a brilliant mystery into a hair-raising conspiracy that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Fast pacing, nonstop suspense, and a climactic final act make this one of the summer's best novels...Sure to leave you questioning everything-including the history books!"
—The Real Book Spy
"A game-changing female protagonist."
—The Big Thrill
PRAISE FOR THE CULPER RING SERIES:
"Clearly a history buff of the highest order, Meltzer knows his stuff, and he's included research from chats with none other than President George H.W. Bush....Beecher's got the mental acumen of Robert Langdon and the gumption of Indiana Jones, but unlike those globe-trotting types, Meltzer's protagonist is thrown into adventures made in the USA and acts as an awesome gateway into the deadlier aspects of American history."—USA TodayonThe Fifth Assassin
"History and suspense collide in shocking ways - and the intensity never lets up. Beecher carries the weight of the story. He's a great character who will resonate with readers since he's like the fun next-door neighbor or your best friend in college....One of his best books to date...The ending of The Fifth Assassin appears to announce that Beecher White will return, and that cannot come fast enough."—Washington PostonThe Fifth Assassin
"A fascinating story that blends historical facts, secret codes, with an engrossing mystery...Meltzer is a master at writing his mysteries as puzzles where the pieces are hints dropped throughout the book..."—Military PressonThe Fifth Assassin
"Because not since the Fletcher Knebel seminalSeven Days inMayor James Grady's scathingDays of the Condor, has there been a political thriller as relentlessly paced or blisteringly effective asThe Fifth Assassin. An early contender for the best thriller of 2013."—The Providence JournalonThe Fifth Assassin
"Full of surprises, action, twists and turns, it is a wild and entertaining (and yes, educational) romp, wonderful in every way...ReadThe Fifth Assassinand prepare to be entranced and enthralled."—BookReporteronThe Fifth Assassin
"When you sit down to start reading, make sure the chair has a comfortable cushion because you'll find yourself unable to put the book down and get anything done. It's that good a read...As always Meltzer's character development and believable plot is spot on. Clearly Mr. Meltzer has done his homework. I think his attention to detail; using true facts combined with fiction to tell his story is what makes him a standalone author in the thriller genre and his fans coming back for more. "—Suspense MagazineonThe Fifth Assassin
"Ratchets up the drama and human interest, and Meltzer's fans will enjoy the usual sprinkling of history factoids, fast-paced writing and the double-whiplash bombshell conclusion."—Kirkus ReviewsonThe Fifth Assassin
"All of Brad's books are a fascinating read. He is a great storyteller who keeps all of us on the edge of our seats."—President George H.W. Bush
"[Meltzer] is an architect. His structures are towering , intricate, elegant, and surprising -- but always grounded in humanity and logic."—Joss Whedon
"Meltzer has mastered the art of baiting and hooking readers into a fast-moving plot."—USA Today
"Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci. "—People
