Deep State / Chris Hauty, 281 pgs.
Hayley Chill is an army vet who is serving as an intern in the White House. She is a little older than the other interns and the West Virginia native has less schooling so she is discounted by her mostly Ivy League counterparts. What Hayley has, of course is extensive hand to hand combat training, a photographic memory and a sharp shooter certificate. The president's chief of staff is sure about one thing..."they" are out to get him and the president. Political enemies are not happy with the direction the administration is taking. When the chief of staff turns up dead, Hayley is the only one who discovers a snowy foot print that leads her to believe the massive heart attack was not entirely natural. Jump through about 15 absolutely unbelievable plot points to get to the final twist at the end to take it to the next level of silly. That ending almost makes this story so bad that it is good. Regardless, it is mindless entertainment that got me through another day of quarantine.
