Deadly Untruths

About the Book

Andie is an investigative journalist working at the only remaining mainstream news organization with recognized credibility in the U.S. A colleague is tragically killed while covering the war in the Middle East. Around the same time, Andie begins to receive mysterious calls-addressing her by name, asking for help-from a person seemingly trapped and unknown to her. As she begins her research for a front-page, above-the-fold tribute to her late colleague, Andie learns that she was investigating strategic destruction beyond the immediate purposes of the conflict. It is now up to Andie to carry on her colleague’s work, exposing those responsible for waging war on an entire population…of color. But it’s not going to be easy. As her own news organization begins to morph, and her safety is threatened by rogue agents, Andie is forced to endanger herself and others in a race to prevent an international catastrophe.
