Some wars end when the fighting stops. This one just moved closer to home.
Kirk Calder survived fifteen hundred acres of Alberta wilderness and seventeen years with Joint Special Operations Command 2. He's outlasted firefights, betrayal, and the kind of grief that hollows a man out. But nothing prepared him for the night a suppressed round punched through his garage wall-and exposed a surveillance camera that had been watching him for months.
Someone has been tracking his every move. His every tear. His every step toward the truth.
The truth that his wife Sarah didn't die in that ravine. That his brother-in-arms Nathan didn't simply surrender to the darkness. That his parents weren't killed by random insurgents. The World Progress Syndicate has been dismantling his world piece by piece-and Kirk is only now beginning to understand why.
When a Ukrainian woman named Lara Petrova reaches out from across the Atlantic-carrying the blood-stained research of a murdered journalist brother and intelligence that could bring down a global conspiracy-Kirk finds himself at the center of something far larger than one man's missing wife. The WPS isn't just powerful. It controls governments, manufactures disasters, and has embedded technology into human minds to guarantee compliance.
They thought they were erasing loose ends. Instead, they woke up a ghost.
The Shadow of Deceit is a pulse-pounding international thriller that plunges from the frozen Alberta prairies to the corridors of power in Washington, Kyiv, and beyond. With relentless pacing, morally complex characters, and conspiracies that feel disturbingly close to real, this is the story of what happens when a man who has nothing left to lose goes to war against the people who took everything.
For fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Daniel Silva.
Action. Betrayal. Redemption. The fight for truth begins now.
