A Concoction of Lies

After Chance Moore, a former FBI cyber-security specialist turned cybercriminal, hacks the bank account of a notorious Guatemalan cartel member, he's kidnapped and smuggled into Guatemala. After escaping and trying desperately to reach the Belize border, he crosses paths with Vonnie Hollister, a depressed prescription addict and alcoholic, who is in Belize to sell her family's 150-year-old banana plantation. Vonnie is sinking deeper into addiction, and a love affair with an unscrupulous businessman puts her life, her friends, and her plantation in jeopardy. Chance and Vonnie's lives become intertwined when Chance is found close to death on Vonnie's plantation and is moved into her house to recover. While Vonnie struggles to overcome her addiction and solve her problems, Chance is impatient to leave the plantation before the cartel discovers where he is. But cover intelligence has led cartel soldiers illegally across the Belize border - and they know exactly where to find him. A Concoction of Lies is a multi-cultural, fast-paced thriller with mature characters navigating a maze of love, loss, deceit, and murder.
