A cryptic invitation.
A secret society.
A billionaire's murder
Six years after his twin brother's death, Razz James is stuck. Once poised to become the prince of Manhattan society, he spends his days in a blur of gin and denial.
Then the mysterious invitation arrives.
An offer to join Scepter & Scythe, an exclusive secret society.
The initiation challenge is a task so daring few would attempt it: steal a memento from Apollo Peck, the infamous billionaire whose fantastical mansion sits atop New York City's poshest building. It's an impossible feat, but Razz has nothing to lose.
He thinks he's executed the perfect crime...
...then someone turns up dead.
What started as a distraction quickly spirals into a deadly plot with Razz in the crosshairs. In a world where power buys innocence, and the truth is subjective, Razz must unmask the mastermind before he becomes the next pawn sacrificed on the board.
Fans of Freida McFadden and Sandra Brown will love The Architect of Deception.
This book contains explicit consensual sexual situations and violence equivalent to that in an R-rated movie.
