Pack of Lies
(2026)(A book in the Bryson Wilde Thriller series)
A Story by Jim Michael Hansen and R J Jagger
When a grieving sister walks into Bryson Wilde’s office with murder in her eyes and cash in her purse, the job sounds simple: find out who killed her sister. No cops. No headlines. No courtroom speeches. Just the truth.
Wilde has made a living chasing truth through the shadows of Denver. He knows what it smells like. He knows what it costs. And he knows something else the moment the woman finishes talking—
She doesn’t want justice.
She wants a name.
And once she has it, she won’t be dialing the police.
The dead girl wasn’t an angel. She ran with the wrong crowd, whispered to the wrong men, and got killed after a night of partying. Wilde starts pulling threads and finds something uglier than a simple killing. Powerful men with polished smiles. Back rooms where deals are made in smoke and whiskey. Secrets buried so deep they were meant to stay that way.
Every step closer to the truth tightens the noose around his own neck.
Because someone out there knows what Wilde is digging for.
And they’re not about to let him hand a loaded gun to a woman who’s hungry for revenge.
Now Wilde has a choice:
Take the money. Deliver the name. Walk away.
Or stop a second murder before it happens.
In a city where justice is for sale and vengeance is personal, Wilde is about to learn that sometimes the truth isn’t the most dangerous thing you can uncover.
Sometimes it’s who you give it to.
Genre: Mystery
