False Truth is a debut crime thriller from C. D. Steele.
Joe Wilde is a former MI6 agent who is now a private eye.
He is contacted by Sally Devlin who is the mother of an up-and-coming football star, Liam Devlin.
Liam Devlin is missing and because his car has been found abandoned in Hackney at Lea Bridge, a know suicide blackspot, the authorities have declared him to be a victim of suicide.
However, his mother thinks otherwise and she is convinced her son is still alive and she tasks Joe Wilde to find him.
Together with retired MI6 data tech Mark Thompson Joe quickly discovers that Liam had a massive secret that he had been hiding. Or, at least one massive secret.
The police officer in charge of the case, D. I. Whatmore is not pleased that a private investigator is working on what he considers to be very much his case and warns him off.
Joe finds a lead that takes him to South America and then things become really very, very complicated indeed and the body count starts to rise.
Can Joe keep himself safe and who, exactly, is involved and what is their true end game?
It's published by the Book Guild at £8.99 and I certainly hope there will be more crime thrillers featuring a new and totally believable British private investigator.
