On the outside, Troy Evans is just an average guy, working as a graphic designer in Minneapolis, but pull back the curtain and we discover a man with a dual life. It all started at age of ten, when Troy fell from a tree while playing, hit his head and should have died, but he didn't. What did happen was a life-changing event, what is called an Out-of-Body or Near-Death-Experience. In the years that follow, Troy experiences repeated OOBs and soon discovers that he can control them. One day, while plying his new ability, Troy happens upon a secretive meeting in a hotel hundreds miles from his home, and is drawn to listen in. Shocked by what he hears, he reports the matter to Homeland Security as an imminent terrorist attack on the nation. Within days, his apartment is raided, and Troy finds himself locked away in a high-security facility for mentally impaired, labelled as delusional and dangerous to society. Despite his attempts to clear his name of these labels, and to implore people to look into his claims, no one listens, no one except the psychologist who is meeting with him in the hopes of addressing his delusional state of mind. Troy eventually manages to convince her that his story is true, and that those who have locked him up are the very people behind the imminent attack on the nation, one that will make 9/11 look like a walk in the park. She helps him to escape from the facility and together, they run, attempting to contact the authorities who will listen, but at every turn, those behind the plot are on their trail, and the window is closing, just days ahead, when the attack happens. A high-concept thriller.
If you liked the Netflix series, Zero Day, with Robert De Niro, you will love Deception People.
Riveting from beginning to end, make sure you set aside a weekend once you start reading.
Eric Richard Dallaire, author Deception People. Telling the truth can be fatal, is the first of a series of books that is a well written, intriguing, action-packed thriller with a supernatural twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you like Patriot Games and The Bourne Identity, I recommend this book. The Deception People is a well written novel that is nerve-wrackingly real, and suspenseful. An Intelligent and Thoughtful Roller Coaster Ride with a Rare Twist... Réal has again created a thriller you don't want to put down until the end.
