Ghost Town by A.J. Thibault

A desert quest to meet a CIA legend turns into a deadly and surreal bid for survival in Ghost Town by A.J. Thibault. The fabled spymaster is up to his old tricks of deception, and has lured the sharp-tongued protagonist, a CIA operative himself, into a twisted experiment that could turn the tide of the Cold War. Through a mind-bending plot that has both characters and readers questioning the nature of reality, this Wild West spy novel is far from your average mystery, western, or paranormal thriller. The dialogue doesn’t always crackle with authenticity, but the storytelling is rich and upbeat, making this a quick and engrossing escape.
