Deception

A Kansas heist goes bad when greed, a love triangle, and ulterior motives take over.

Billy is a local cop, the son of the former sheriff who was gunned down in cold blood by a notorious organized crime group of hitmen. Billy has made it his mission to find out why.

Joining forces with Alicia—a mysterious, benevolent, beautiful Cuban immigrant—and his well-meaning but mentally unstable brother, they seek vengeance and fortune.

George is a banker recruited against his will after a one-night stand and conned to help the trio. But when Alicia tears he and Billy into a boiling love triangle, real motivations are exposed.

With tensions mounting and the danger intensifying, the group must decide what’s more important: money, family, or love. The problem is, each of them has a different answer. And not everyone is guaranteed to make it out alive.

Told in alternative POVs, the 2017 Novel Writing Festival Thriller Novel of the Year is nonstop action with twists until the final pages.
