Ten Cents a Lie
(2026)(A book in the Bryson Wilde Thriller series)
A novel by Jim Michael Hansen and R J Jagger
Tommy Pierce is not a nice man. Ask anyone in Denver, they’ll tell you. He owns the Blue Note, a nightclub that poisons the city after dark. Cops hate him. Criminals orbit him. Rumors cling like cheap cigar smoke—and so do bodies.
When he crashes his car one night and the police find a dead woman in the back seat, no one’s shocked, and he’s charged with murder. He claims he’s being framed. Swears it, up and down.
PI Bryson Wilde is brought in to help get to the bottom of things. Wilde doesn’t like courtrooms, and he doesn’t like Pierce, but work is work. As he digs into the shadows, he’s soon pulled into a shifting world built of blurred evidence, buried secrets, and truths someone is killing to keep hidden. Witnesses are disappearing. Facts are being rewritten. And the verdict is being shaped long before the jury hears a word.
Wilde usually charges by the hour.
This time, he’s going to charge ten cents a lie.
Genre: Mystery
