From the author of FINAL TARGET and ABSOLUTE RISK, here comes the first book in a thrilling series featuring a compelling new hero, former San Francisco homicide detective Harlan Donnally.

With ACT OF DECEIT, Gore enters the crime fiction domain of Harlan Coben, Robert B. Parker, Stuart Woods, and Robert Crais, and immediately proves he can stand tall with the best of them. A heart-racing masterwork of mystery, thrills, and suspense, ACT OF DECEIT plunges Donnally into a deadly morass of murder, sex trafficking, and church corruption as he seeks the dark truth about the death of a sister of a dying friend.
