    About this audiobook

    A disgraced journalist.
    The scoop of a lifetime.
    If it doesn't redeem him...
    It'll kill him.
    It looks like just another car crash: a head-on collision on a lonely stretch of desert highway that leaves one driver dead. But Tom Valle, the local newspaperman assigned to the story, is damned good at spotting lies. And for Valle, once a star reporter at America's most prestigious daily, this so-called accident may be just the ticket he needs to resurrect his career and get him out of the aptly named town of Littleton, California, for good.
    Yet as Valle eagerly starts investigating, he finds himself the only one who cares about getting the story right. As he starts checking facts, and unveiling lie after lie, he finds himself completely alone-and negotiating a dark trail of corruption, cover-ups, fraud, and murder that stretches back for decades.
    The more he discovers, the closer he gets to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to destroy him. From a seedy after-hours bar in L.A. to a remote cabin in the woods to the dark corridors of a psychiatric ward, Valle is desperately seeking redemption in the truth.
    But, as the boy who cried wolf so many times before, will anyone believe him?
    Or is that exactly the reason he was assigned this story in the first place?

      Da hätte man mehr draus machen können. Gute Hintergrundidee, aber die Story flacht immer mehr ab und der Autor scheint zwischenzeitlich selbst den Faden zu verlieren.Und wenn mich beim Lesen der Verdacht beschleicht, das hier Seiten gefüllt werden müssen, kann am Ende einfach auch kein gutes Fazit herauskommen.Es hätte mich schon stutzig machen müssen, das auf dem Cover ein positives Pressezitat zu dem (wirklich gelungenen) Erstling "Entgleist" steht und nicht zu dem vorliegenden Buch.
    • 3/5
      In Deceit, Tom Valle, once a prominent reporter whose career has derailed, is covering what appears to be an ordinary car crash, but as he dives into the case, he starts to see that this is no ordinary case. The man who died in the crash had been castrated, and despite his license claiming him to be a white male, he was actually a black man. This plunges the novel into a tale lies, corruption, and conspiracy.There was sufficient tension and twists in this novel, but there were also major plot holes that bring it down. The writing is also subpar at times. If the plot had been tightened, then I think this could be a good novel, but as it stands it is imminently forgettable and doesn’t stand out in any way. Just an okay novel.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street
