What would you think if you discovered your favorite author isn’t who he was advertised to be? International success, incredible wealth – did Mathew Mangold become a best selling author by selling out his country’s deepest military and intelligence secrets disguised as fiction? And was this the reason he was murdered or because he threatened to go even further? He grants journalist Susan Calderon a reveal all interview he doesn’t live long enough to give. Who would kill an acclaimed author minutes before his plan to reveal a secret he kept for forty years? Homicide detective Barry Bream, assigned to investigate Mangold’s death, teams up with Susan to learn what Mangold was concealing. As they probe the dead author’s clandestine world and their own relationship deepens, they witness Mangold associates die violently until their very own safety is eventually threatened and finally discover that their idol was a false one, and the reason for his death beyond anything they imagined.
