Shadows of Deception: A Crime Thriller

By Bertrand Fote

Detectives Spider McNeeley and Sedox Overton are thrust into a high-stakes investigation when a series of mysterious deaths linked to VX nerve agent-a deadly chemical weapon-rock their city. Their search for answers leads them into a tangled web of deceit, betrayal, and buried secrets that challenge everything they believe.

At the center of the storm is Dr. Kamga Bosco, a respected emergency physician and toxicologist whose ties to the victims raise difficult questions. As suspicion mounts, Kamga finds himself under scrutiny, forcing Spider and Sedox to navigate a maze of manipulated crime scenes, foreign operatives, and fractured loyalties.

With each twist, the detectives must confront their assumptions, battle internal demons, and risk everything to uncover the truth-wherever it may lead.

Shadows of Deception is a gripping, character-driven thriller that explores the cost of loyalty, the pursuit of justice, and the shadowy intersections of power, science, and betrayal.
