Nick Winters, wealthy heir to billions, is the tragic victim of a terrorist attack at a young age. He loses both of his parents. Suddenly inheriting a vast fortune, he sets about wandering the world, learning techniques that will help him strike back at the evil that has torn his life apart.

When he eventually returns to the city of Chicago, he is a changed man. He will use his vast fortune to protect those who need it, to bring villains to justice, and to solve mysteries. He also has a vast network of informants and helpers to assist him.

Then, one day, he gets a package in the mail. Inside is a hat. However, this hat is more than just a black fedora. It is infused with the latest technology that will enhance Nick's already amazing abilities to near-superhuman levels.

The problem is that some other people want that technology back. People who helped design it but now want to use it for nefarious purposes. Oh, and each time he uses the hat, it's also slowly killing him.

It's all just another day at the office for Nick.

In a wide-ranging, wild, action-packed adventure, he must stop the people trying to bring down this country. He has to save thousands, and he has to manage to stay alive.

Filled with dazzling adventure, mystery, and suspense, from horror and thriller novelist Bryan W. Alaspa comes his nod to comic books and pulp fiction: The Hat Trick.
