Truth or Die Patterson, James

A man wakes up in a locked New York City mansion with no memory of how he got there. The people who drugged him want information — a code that could expose a conspiracy at the highest levels of government. He doesn't have it. They don't believe him. The clock is ticking, the interrogation methods are escalating, and someone powerful wants him dead before he can talk. Patterson delivers his signature rapid-fire chapters and breakneck pacing, turning a single location into a pressure cooker of paranoia and violence. This is conspiracy thriller territory — think pharmaceutical corruption, black ops, and a protagonist who has to piece together what he knows while fighting to survive. For fans of high-stakes thrillers and readers who treat chapters like potato chips: one more won't hurt.
