IRVING, Texas - Dec. 13, 2016 - PRLog -- Betrayals, the second novel in Richard Paolinelli's Jack Del Rio series, is now available!

A long-forgotten, communist plot threatens to restore an old enemy and topple the American government.

In the early days of post-World War II Europe twenty-four young couples, none over the age of twenty, gather on a snowy dock where a boat awaits to take them on the first leg of their journey, to their new lives in America. All forty-eight were born and raised within the borders of the Soviet Union, but they were all taught to speak flawless American English to easily assimilate into the American way of life. Their mission is to raise their children and their children's children to become major players in the U.S. and help steer the young superpower toward a more Soviet-friendly path. Among them are a couple named Del Rio…

FBI Special Agent Jack Del Rio has been assigned to help secure the President during the upcoming Inauguration Day ceremonies, but a mysterious visitor in the night draws him into a conspiracy that deeply touches his professional and personal life, and very well may lead right to the Oval Office itself.

Not knowing the identities of the conspirators and unable to trust anyone with what he knows, Del Rio must race the clock to stop the plot before the inauguration and save the country.

As time runs out Del Rio finds he may have to betray every oath he has ever taken in order to save his country, even if it means that he has to pull the trigger and kill the next President of the United States.

Reservations is the first in the series:

In a land deeply seeded in beliefs and legends, someone is murdering the leaders of the Navajo Nation disguised as the trickster Coyote…

Whoever it is has the Navajo President squarely in his sights, and everyone else seeing "things."

As the body count rises the FBI sends in their best man, Special Agent Jack Del Rio, to put an end to the killings. A decorated hero for thwarting a terrorist attack in London, Del Rio finds himself in a completely different world among the three Reservations – Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni – located in the Four Corners of the American Southwest.

When the past and the present collide, only one leader shall remain.
