Synopsis

Some of the most powerful people in the government, military, and private sector are planning to take over the reins of the White House―and populate it with their own sympathizers and puppets. They’ve already taken out the Speaker of the House, whose death was made to look like an accident. The president and VP are next in line. . .

“Intense and gripping...Coes’ name should be on the lips of every reader who enjoys Vince Flynn and the Brads (Taylor and Thor).”―Booklist (starred review)

On restricted duty while he recovers from injuries incurred on a previous mission, Dewey Andreas is sent to Paris by the director of the CIA to accompany the Secretary of State. But what should have been a simple security job turns into a nightmare when the Secretary is taken out by a hitman―and the blame falls on Dewey himself. Now Dewey is on the run and out in the cold, desperately trying to unravel a plot back at home and a secret enemy at his heels before the conspirators succeed in their sinister agenda. . .and kill millions of innocent citizens in the process.

“Read Trap the Devil and see why readers who are in-the-know consider Ben Coes the contemporary master of thriller authors.”―Bookreporter

Review:

"Read Trap the Devil and see why readers who are in the know consider Ben Coes the contemporary master of thriller authors." ―Bookreporter

"An intriguing interlacing of narratives emerges as past and present enemies come together against Dewey and his team." ―Kirkus Reviews

“While the nonstop action is the main course here, the complex, thought-provoking plot and character development prove to be the cherry on top to Coes’ relentless, adrenaline-pumping thriller... Trap the Devil elevates Ben Coes to the very top of the thriller genre, where he sits alongside the likes of Brad Thor, Daniel Silva, and the late Vince Flynn.” ―The REAL Book Spy

"Outstanding!...The pages fly, and the surprises are numerous. Coes is one of those few authors who knows how to turn the world of black ops into compelling, realistic fiction, and he’s getting better and better." ―Booklist (starred review) on First Strike

"Independence Day may well be the best installment of the series to date... There’s enough action, explosions, fatalities and (best of all) intelligence nuggets to fill a summer’s equivalent of books.... Strongly recommended, from first page to last." ―Bookreporter

"Coes is in the same league as Brad Thor and Vince Flynn, and this high-octane race against time will have plot-driven thriller readers unable to turn the pages fast enough."―Booklist (starred review) on Independence Day

"Ben Coes has created a hero who ranks with the protagonists in a Vince Flynn or Brad Thor thriller... The Last Refuge is a winner and will keep readers turning the pages." ―The Associated Press

"My favorite novel in at least a decade. The writing was inherently masculine, brilliantly crafted." ―Huffington Post on The Last Refuge
