Hoover Rules

Hoover Rules is a serial-killer thriller with geopolitical stakes. A seemingly one-off murder in a D.C. alley explodes into a federal emergency as local police and FBI agents link the crime to others in Kansas City and Detroit, all pointing to a single, methodical predator who stalks young women near big‑league baseball stadiums. As the investigation ricochets from D.C. precincts to foreign war rooms, the case begins to intersect with something far larger: a covert plot involving five extremist groups, a charismatic California mayor, and a clandestine foreign intelligence effort racing to avert a multi‑city massacre timed to a religious holiday. An ensemble cast of cops, agents, politicians, mobsters, and spies navigate jurisdictional turf wars, media heat, and moral compromises in the shadow of J. Edgar Hoover's uncompromising and unofficial rulebook: no rules at all. How far are decent people willing to go—and who are they willing to sacrifice—to stop a killer and prevent a global catastrophe?
