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.

As Deirdre’s world collapses around her, she must find out the truth about who is responsible before she loses everything—including her life.
“From the very start, Bryan Cassiday spins what appears to be a typical Southern Californian private investigation novel in BOLT, but quickly takes off in a direction that speaks to our current troubled times. Well-plotted and crisply written, with great characterization, this is one to look for.”
"Noir suspense at its best! Private eyes, hit men, globe-trotting, and characters you don't know whether you can trust or not. Fans of James Ellroy, Dennis Lehane, and Fredrick Forsyth will love Bolt!"
"A deftly crafted roller coaster of a ride for the reader, Bryan Cassiday's novel, Bolt, is a truly riveting read from cover to cover. While unreservedly recommended for community library Contemporary Suspense/Thriller Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that Bolt is also available in a digital book format."
"Fast-paced and intriguing, Bryan Cassiday's Bolt is the type of novel that demands to be read in one sitting . . . The plot is perfectly flawless."
