About
the Book
Robin Clayton gets the worst phone
call of her life. Mark, her police detective husband, has been shot in the line
of duty. Or was it? A young woman is dead, and Mark lies in a coma. While he
remains helpless and unaware, Internal Affairs builds a case that threatens to
tear Mark and Robin apart. Mark's gun is missing, and a briefcase full of money
has appeared in Robin's house.
Has Mark been leaking information to his girlfriend as IA claims? Did he kill the woman?
When someone sneaks into the hospital with one purpose--to kill Mark--Robin and her friends fight to find answers before it's too late.

My
Review
A drug cartel hidden in plain sight.
When a small town Colorado detective gets a tip about a potential drug bust
from an amateur sleuth with a passion for saving kids, everything goes wrong.
Someone in the police department is lying and it’s up to the detective’s wife
and friend to get to the bottom of mayhem in Pinion Creek.
High Deceit is the story of a fight
against illegal drug trafficking, suspicion out of control, and ethics. There
are quite a few threads running through the story, which is told in multiple
viewpoints. High Deceit is part of a series, so all of the threads don’t wrap
up neatly in this book.
I found it interesting and enjoyed
working with Robin, the detective’s wife, as she and her friend tracked down
suspects and went through their own angst about who to believe. Those who enjoy
suspenseful, inspirational mystery series with large casts will enjoy these
tales.
