Perception: What do you do when things are too good to be true?
"Page Turner! ...Rachel Allen is the perfect 21st Century heroine. Intrigue, mystery, and action are all in this thriller that is more about who we are than meets the eye." Amazon Review
Is a little white lie a problem if it empowers your dream? Meet Idealist artist Lidia Lundon who lies to her wife to get her own NYC gallery and conspires with Dennis Gavin, accountant, internationally recognized ceramicist, and serial killer?
Plagued with writer's block and PTSD, Rachel Allen is distracted by discovering the owner of a 1937 teenager's diary and unraveling a wealthy family's murderous secrets still in play. Unwittingly, her research dovetails with the FBI's investigations of a series of brutal murders and puts her directly in harm's way.
Meanwhile in Tawanda, Africa, Peter Powell, heir to a seat on the international cartel and working for US President Franklin Sandford, is on the run for his life, targeted by a diamond smuggling ring. This would be an exciting step up from his former clerk position if he lives.
Against the backdrop of worldwide unrest, a ruthless cartel protects its own by whatever means necessary creating webs of intrigue and deadly confrontations. No detail escapes them, and retribution is inevitable.
From the 1957 mob barbecue in Apalachin, NY, to the discovery of the diary in a turn-of-the-century Albany brownstone, to NYC, Washington D.C., and Tawanda, Africa, follow our heroes as they fight for life, love, and country or die trying.
