Bolt — Bryan Cassiday

A private detective's routine case of infidelity among Hollywood's elite leads to a transnational conspiracy of terror.

Power-broker Hollywood talent manager Lyndon Fox's wife Deirdre hires epileptic LA private detective Scott Brody after a previous private detective she assigned to keep tabs on her husband's suspected infidelity is killed in Cabo San Lucas when she and her husband vacation there. An unknown assailant stalks her after she returns home. A secretive FBI agent named Peltz tells Brody that Lyndon Fox is involved with a cabal burrowed inside the FBI who, with the help of the deep state, are conspiring to take down the president of the United States. Peltz wants Brody to help him obtain evidence to expose Fox, as assailants ramp up their terrorism of the Fox family. As Deirdre's world collapses around her, she must find out the truth about who is responsible before she loses everything--including her life.
