Shadows & Deceit plunges readers into a world where loyalty cuts as deep as betrayal.
When a covert rooftop operation in Las Vegas unravels, black-ops commander Chuck Barnes is thrust into a deadly game of honey-traps, designer poisons, and assassins who vanish without a trace. From the neon glow of high-rise casinos to the desolation of the Mojave desert, every lead draws him closer to BlackRose-a classified file powerful enough to topple empires.
But danger has a name. El Cucuy, a ruthless phantom enforcer, is tightening his grip while the city's elite pull strings in the shadows. To protect a whistleblower, defend the fractured family he's barely holding onto, and survive the truths men are murdered for, Barnes must fight enemies seen and unseen-before the darkness consumes everything.
Fast-paced and relentless, Shadows & Deceit is Kevin M. Scott's explosive debut thriller-a razor-sharp tale of espionage and conspiracy where survival demands sacrifice, and the line between justice and deception blurs into shadow.
