The Tree House

Maisy and Tom Holden and their family have been on the run for months during a hostile government takeover. A sadistic ploy to control the country's most prominent figures and their constituents has been implemented in the form of a deadly vaccine. While government agents proceed to hunt down the unvaccinated, the Holden family discovers and takes sanctuary in a large tree house. In providing aid to other refugees, they unlock the secrets of their new dwelling and realize this massive compound embedded in a network of trees is meant to house the workings of a rebellion. Together they learn the identity of the elusive dictator pulling all the strings and formulate a plan to free the president and his family from tyranny. While exploring on a large scale what can happen when corruption is given free rein, allowing for a pervasive culture of deception and greed, The Tree House also celebrates shared human connection in times of crisis. This fast–paced thriller provides a glimpse into a terrorist–run society, melding crime, mystery, and suspense into one novel you won't want to put down.
