THE RED HOTEL SERIES

Overview

The books of the Red Hotel Series, written by Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman, wind readers through international intrigue, conspiracy, complex global politics, economics and terror.

Gary Grossman is an author of thrillers and a producer. Ed Fuller is the former President of Marriott International Hotels and former Army Captain who served in Vietnam and Germany. Drawing from the real-world experience of the authors, their protagonist, Army intelligence officer Dan Reilly, now an international hotel executive with high level access to the CIA becomes immersed in terrorism that spans the globe. From bombings in Tokyo and Kiev to disruptions in Brussels, Red Hotel follows the fast-paced efforts of Reilly in the first book of the series. In the second book, Red Deception, Riley is called into action when acts of terrorism are enacted on U.S. soil, the events soon catapult onto the world stage. Never-ending thrills on every page along with lessons of international proportion. Book three, Red Chaos, finds Russia’s Gorshkov shoring up his lucrative energy trade with China, fueling expansionism plans for Ukraine and Latvia. Red Ultimatum, to be released in February 2025, will thrill as it takes readers through a high-stakes showdown: a former president on a downed plane, international unrest, and China’s ultimatum against Gorshkov force Dan Reilly into a decisive role to outmaneuver a global crisis.

Before the Red Hotel Series became a thriller on the page, it was a lifetime of lived experience.
Ed Fuller’s story spans worlds most writers only imagine:
🎖️ serving as a U.S. Army  Captain in Germany and Vietnam
🌍 leading global operations for Marriott International  across 70+ countries
👑 advising world leaders and standing alongside royalty
🚗 and still making time for the legendary Burgundy Beast

Along the way, Ed built a career rooted in leadership, crisis management, geopolitics, and human decision-making under pressure. Those experiences didn’t just shape a résumé, they shaped a storyteller.

That depth is what fuels the Red Hotel Series. The stakes feel real because, in many ways, they’ve already been lived.

From military service to boardrooms to global diplomacy, Ed’s path made becoming a political thriller co-author not a pivot, but a natural next chapter.

(And yes… every good thriller deserves a great car.)

The entire Red Hotel Series is available on Amazon in audiobook format.

Every great partnership has an origin story… and some begin in unexpectedly cinematic circles.

In this video, I share how @garygrossman1  and I first crossed paths, sparked by a mutual creative connection with Bruce Feirstein, screenwriter of three @007  films.
What started as a conversation about possibilities turned into the beginning of a writing partnership that would go on to shape the Red Hotel Series.

There’s a moment in every book where the story stops being an idea and starts acting like it owns the place.
A scene that won’t let you sleep.
A character who shows up fully formed, demanding page space.
A plot turn that arrives like a postcard from somewhere you didn’t plan to visit.
That’s where we are right now with a new Red Hotel Series novel: deep in the creative trenches, shaping the tension, chasing the truth inside the fiction, and following the breadcrumbs that always lead to trouble.
If you’re due for a catch-up (or a re-entry into the series), now’s a perfect time to dive back in. The audiobooks are made for commutes, workouts, dog walks, and late-night “just one more chapter” energy.

A few days ago a close friend sent me a great video called "A Night In Steve McQueens Garage", created by @retrostarai ( @youtube Channel) and it took me on a trip down memory lane. This is how I got to know Hollywood Legend @stevemcqueen .

While still at Pinkerton, I volunteered for the 3:00 p.m. to midnight shift and often worked double shifts during the summers. During my time at the facility, we had President Johnson on site, and I was positioned in the communications center with the FBI, Secret Service, Boston and State Police.
I was involved in two major fires and a robbery, during which the police asked me to lead them through back corridors. I did a good job until I realized they had the guns—and I did not.
Because of my college background, I was asked to replace exhausted sergeants and officers when Steve McQueen was filming The Thomas Crown Affair. His children had been attacked by local kids trying to get souvenirs. He was apparently irate and requested three armed guards: a lieutenant, a sergeant, and a patrolman.
The first night, I was being eaten alive by mosquitoes when Steve McQueen sat on his fence and doused me with a product called 6-12, which is no longer used. We talked for two hours, and his first wife was there as well. It was a truly enjoyable time. She chided him for taking too many stunts.
The next night, Steve McQueen invited me to join him at a party, so I walked about six blocks to a nearby home. The host suggested I have dinner in the kitchen with the staff, which was fine with me—the food was fabulous. We left a few hours later.
A few days after the detail ended, I was walking through the Prudential Center where they were filming the movie. As I passed by, he called out, “Ed, how are you?” It was a high point in my life.

@retrostarai  has a large library of YouTube videos waiting for you.

It started with a graduation gift to myself in 1968. Fresh out of @bostonu , I bought a brand-new Mustang, the kind of car that doesn’t just get you from place to place, it becomes part of your story. A year later, life shifted gears. I joined the @usarmy  and was stationed as a Lieutenant at Frankfurt Airport. And in a move that still feels wonderfully cinematic, the Army transported the Mustang overseas.
For the next two years that Mustang was more than transportation. It was freedom on four wheels. My friends and I loaded it up, chased horizons across Western Europe, and turned weekends into lifelong memories. My military buddies even gave the car a nickname worthy of its swagger and color: the “Burgundy Beast.” It became our trusted companion for the sights, the laughter, and adventures you only get when you’re far from home.
Then came 1970, and another turn. I was sent to Vietnam. The Burgundy Beast was shipped back to safety, returning home to Attleboro, Massachusetts, carrying the quiet weight of everything it had witnessed, and everything still ahead.
And decades later, that same Mustang would be restored and donated to the Marconi Automotive Museum, a piece of personal history preserved, not as a relic, but as a living reminder: some stories don’t fade, they just find new places to be told.
