"This one sizzles with tensions and twists that both entertain and magnetize. Crispy plotted and paced it's also thought-provoking and troubling in its take on our new reality.

—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of the Cotton Malone thrillers

"Body Man is a taut, terrifying, terrific political thriller that cuts to the bone of the devastating divide roiling America today. Drawing on his insider experience as a former member of the White House press corps, Al Pessin paints an all-too-credible portrait of a democracy on the brink—where patriotism and extremism blur, and every truth is weaponized. Body Man is both a propulsive psychological thriller and a sobering cautionary tale, a pulse-pounding story ripped from tomorrow's headlines."

— Jon Land, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

"Al Pessin has done it again in this chilling cautionary tale for our divided times. Part psychological thriller, part just flat-out thrills, Body Man has all of Pessin's White House Press Corps experience, and his reliably fresh style. Don't miss this one from a terrific writer."

— T. Jefferson Parker, NY Times bestselling author of Desperation Reef

"Part political drama, part explosive thriller, Body Man takes readers from Capitol Hill corridors to battlefields abroad, tracing the fault lines of patriotism and power. Al Pessin's newest novel asks: what happens when those sworn to protect democracy become its greatest threat? A timely, gripping page-turner that feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines."

— Paul Levine, bestselling author of the Jake Lassiter and Solomon vs. Lord legal thriller series, and the new Einstein-Chaplin thrillers.

"I lost hours of sleep compulsively consuming the pages of Body Man, Al Pessin's wide-angled political thriller set in contemporary America. Read it and weep for us all."

— Lynne Hugo, award-winning author of A Matter of Mercy

"A gut-punch of a novel. Terrifyingly plausible. Body Man isn't just a thriller, it's a warning shot—chilling, thought-provoking, and disturbingly familiar. I couldn't stop reading."
