Publisher Description

In the shadowed corners of Cincinnati, where the art is as cutting-edge as the secrets are deep, Maisie Doss is the fulcrum between law and disorder. Her latest game? Infiltrating a ring of art smugglers as a Criminal Informant, where masterpieces mask misdemeanors, and trust is the ultimate con.

"Tangled Lies" weaves a tight narrative through a city steeped in duplicity, where alliances are written in water and everyone wears a disguise. Maisie must cleanse her tarnished name and pin down a criminal mastermind while eluding the ghosts of her own checkered past – ghosts that whisper threats and dangers.

Teamed with Boone, her cousin who thrives on the edge, and Dixie, a comrade from the wild days, Maisie's caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse. They flirt with danger in the art world's glittering lounges, where a false move might be the last.

In a gallery where the walls seem to draw closer, Maisie dances a perilous waltz of undercover agent and criminal strategist, aiming for one thing: a takedown that will topple the empire of lies. But when the line between friend and foe blurs, every decision could be fatal.

"Tangled Lies" is a masterclass in suspense, where loyalty is a mirage, and betrayal is just another brushstroke. Can Maisie navigate this treacherous maze, or is she painting her own corner, one from which there's no escape?

This story lays bare the stark realities of a battle for redemption, where "forever" might just be the greatest deceit. Join Maisie as she steps out from the shadows of her past and into the light of truth, navigating a path fraught with danger, deception, and the hope of redemption. "Tangled Lies" promises to be a journey filled with suspense, surprise, and the undeniable strength of a woman determined to right the wrongs of her past.
