About Domestic Deceit

★★★★☆ / -- ..."An audaciously entertaining plot..." "Domestic Deceit by H.C. Johnson is an intriguing political thriller that unquestionably lives up to its name. The duplicity comes from every possible angle, making for a plot that is complex and unpredictable. ... These involved details all contribute to a contemporary and thorough novel that may even eclipse Tom Clancy’s technically accurate and meticulously detailed writing style." By Steve Quade /Indies Today Loved It! - ★★★★ - Four Stars! /by Andrea Smith/Reedsy.com-- A psychological thriller with a clear presentation of corruption and honesty. Domestic Deceit doesn't shy away from intellectual fencing. H.C. Johnson is selling the notion of controversy and I'm buying it. "It's a psychological thriller with a journalist who has stumbled upon knowledge of dark deeds..... It's a sharp, explosive story. The short chapters march along (as) if a drummer is pushing you to scroll all the while preparing you for the character's motivations.... It is a thrilling read about a man coming to a reckoning with his past and how it seeps into his marriage.... It has many parallels to today's politics. I am pleased someone took a go at understanding the history of racism. White male extremism is explored. These men are convinced women need management. Without a doubt, it cuts close to the bone for anyone who has suffered misogyny, and "boys will be boys.... It's a study of the strange complexity of society. I am going to take away that if you're fond of conspiracy theories this will fit the bill." Come along on this powerfully gripping investigation as reporter K.J. Corchoran unravels a secret psychological program that has government neuroscientists on the verge of cracking the brain’s synaptic code. Their discovery is stunning: Deep in the brain’s recesses, a small anomaly is creating an evil evolutionary defect in a growing cluster of the population—including the domestic terrorists responsible for attempting to overthrow democracy during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. But to find a cure, Military scientists must test their hypotheses on volunteers—including children whose father’s participate in the experiments as part of unfolding Probate Court cases. Domestic Deceit will leave readers on the edge of their seats as Corchoran unveils the secrets and whether scientists—in their zeal to help mankind—have gone too far. Reminiscent of Stieg Larsson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Domestic Deceit is a scintillating fast-paced suspense thriller with roller-coaster twists, full of political and psychological intrigue, dark, edgy elements, gut-punch conflicts and an emotional backbone. Based on current cutting-edge research,author H.C. Johnson has created a believable, captivating, and, ultimately, a hopeful suspense drama, while exploring important cultural and societal themes with piercing clarity and satirical wit.
