Description
An unexpected affair. A lover’s betrayal. A brutal murder.
Private investigator Angelo Barsotti is just getting by, moonlighting as a bartender at a cop bar and obsessing over the murder of his wife, which he’s been unable to solve for two years. When tech giant Grant Dogon tries to hire him to get his best friend and former platoon comrade, Craig, out of jail, Angelo wants nothing to do with the case. Craig Mazer, who is accused of killing his wife, Helen, has no alibi. But Grant comes bearing a briefcase of cash and a refusal to take no for an answer.
As Angelo reluctantly investigates the case, with his enthusiastic associate and friend, Lewis, all roads lead to Dogon Tech, where Craig works for Grant. Why is a tech security firm having so many security breaches of its own? What is Grant hiding before the company’s public offering? As Angelo tries to uncover these secrets, he’s met with lie after lie. Is he putting himself and others in danger by pursuing this angle?
While working this case, new clues about Angelo’s wife emerge from an unexpected source, but he must solve who killed Helen Mazer first. Will Angelo be able to see through the lies to find the truth and finally solve what happened to his wife?

Featured Reviews
An Army of Lies follows private investigator Angelo Barsotti as he investigates a murder case involving a tech giant and his former platoon comrade. As he delves deeper into the case, Angelo uncovers a web of lies surrounding the tech company and risks everything to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, he must also confront new clues about his wife's murder and navigate the dangerous consequences of his own actions. The novel is a complex and engaging thriller that explores themes of truth, justice, and the cost of pursuing both.
A gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The plot is complex and multi-layered, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end. What makes this book stand out, however, is the depth of the characters. Angelo Barsotti is a flawed but sympathetic protagonist, haunted by his wife's murder and struggling to make sense of his own life. The supporting cast is equally well-drawn, from the charming but hapless Lewis to the enigmatic Grant Dogon.
