Deceit by Design

THE CITY OF CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, IS ROCKED BY AN EVIL FORCE.

Three bonded women – all talented, beautiful and charismatic – return to their alma mater for their school reunion. One of them is murdered, becoming Champaign's first homicide in fifty years.

Who committed this heinous crime in a city filled with people who all seem to have something to hide?

There’s only one man for the job: Lieutenant Craig Ryan, who is always relentless in his pursuit of justice. By his side is his old partner, Kirsten Wells, reporter and darling of Champaign, whose grief fuels her need for the truth.

A slew of clues and riddles are strewn by the killer, as one by one, the women of Champaign find their way into his web. Lieutenant Ryan needs to unravel the clues or more deaths will soon follow.

“An old-fashioned cop thriller cat-and-mouse read with great characters and twists to flip the pages easily… Wonderfully enjoyable from start to finish…” Debra, Readalot Magazine reviewer
