I’ve been reading Brad Meltzer’s novels forever, and always look forward to his work. This year, Meltzer is stepping (slightly) away from Beecher White–who starred in The Inner Circe (2011), The Fifth Assassin (2013), and The President’s Shadow (2015)–and releasing The House of Secrets, which he co-authored with Tod Goldberg. Until Recently plot information was unknown, now we finally have our first details–and The House of Cards sounds incredible!
Here’s the book info taken from Amazon:

If you enjoyed Meltzer’s television show Brad Meltzer’s Decoded, then The House of Secrets should definitely go on your must-read list. Also, the author previously said that Beecher White will make a small cameo, so be on the lookout for that. Man, summer cannot come fast enough!
