Mastering the Art of Deception

By Marlowe Edison

For readers who crave cinematic espionage-multi-POV intrigue, layered threads, and the slow-burn tension of Le Carr fused with the relentless drive of Greaney.

She's a spy. He's her teacher. One artifact could kill them both.

Annouie Bach is finished. Finished lying to her best friend. Finished scraping by. Finished pretending.

Then her handler makes her an offer: find the lost manuscript, and she's free.

The catch? Go undercover as a student of Antony Meyer-Edwards-a brilliant, arrogant music prodigy with secrets darker than her own.

When the artifact lands on his doorstep, everything detonates. Rival operatives close in. Mercenaries want her dead. And the one man who might save her... could destroy her instead.

Meyer-Edwards is magnetic. Infuriating. Impossible to read.

Getting close could set her free-or cost her everything.

Mastering the Art of Deception is a sleek, slow-burn espionage thriller of mind games, simmering tension, and operatic stakes-for fans of Killing Eve, The Night Manager, and the unflinching grit of Le Carr and Greaney.
