When Truth Lies

Brad Conner, a once successful mortgage broker, is down on his luck. Recovering from a serious automobile accident, out of work and out of money, Brad's future looks far from bright. When an old friend offers him the dream deal of a lifetime-brokering a multi-billion dollar casino condominium project-Brad jumps at the chance. The developer gives him a one million dollar deposit and Brad is in deep before he realizes just what kind of deal he's financing. The Teamsters Union and the Indian Warrior Society both have a stake and Granger handles these powerful investors same as the appraisers and engineers - through blackmail, fraud and, if necessary, murder. Brad soon discovers that Granger's involved in even far more sinister business dealings-slave operations in Northern Africa and using his own personal, elite army and air force to protect his assets. Meanwhile, there's an FBI agent who's hell-bent on taking Brad down. Can Brad get out without spending the rest of his life in prison or escaping assassination? Based on true events, fact and fiction become harder to distinguish, and set against the wealthy landscapes of Canada, Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and Vatican City, this is a steamroller of a novel.
