In the shadowed corners of Cincinnati, where the art is as cutting-edge as the secrets are deep, Maisie Doss is the fulcrum between law and disorder. Her latest game? Infiltrating a ring of art smugglers as a Criminal Informant, where masterpieces mask misdemeanors and trust is the ultimate con.
Tangled Lies weaves a tight narrative through a city steeped in duplicity, where alliances are written in water and everyone wears a disguise. Maisie must cleanse her tarnished name and pin down a criminal mastermind while eluding the ghosts of her own checkered pastâghosts that whisper threats and dangers.
Teamed with Boone, her cousin who thrives on the edge, and Dixie, a comrade from the wild days, Maisie's caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse. They flirt with danger in the art world's glittering lounges, where a false move might be the last.
In a gallery where the walls seem to draw closer, Maisie dances a perilous waltz of undercover agent and criminal strategist, aiming for one thing: a takedown that will topple the empire of lies. But when the line between friend and foe blurs, every decision could be fatal.
