Deceived (Darkest of Portland Series Book 2)

Description

Randall Goshwin was found dead in his living room, and the cops believe his wife is responsible. Initially, it seems open and shut. The man’s wife is taken into custody, and the evidence points to her as the perpetrator. The police are confident that they’ve found the murderer. Vanessa Goshwin lawyers up and refuses to say a word, and it looks like it’s case closed.

However, the dead man’s brother doesn’t believe Vanessa Goshwin committed the crime. He hires private detective Xavier Ramos and his friend, Calliope King, to find out who really killed his brother.

Once they delve deeper into the mystery, it’s clear to them that this was no simple domestic dispute gone wrong. It seems that the murdered man was more than just a suburban dad with a mundane job, and someone killed him for it. When the man’s connections to dangerous gangs and deadly industries began to be revealed, Callie and Xavier realize that the person who committed this crime may stop at nothing to keep their secrets.

The lies are piling up, and there’s no way to know who’s telling the truth and who’s telling the deadliest of lies. And time is running out.

Callie and Xavier must find out the truth, before they fall for the wrong lie and never recover.
