Karen Cleveland's Big Lie

The great lie
Available here

After his breakthrough with the opera prima «All the truth«, Karen Cleveland returns with a thriller traced along the same lines as the first time. If the formula works, and if it is capable of abounding in a psychological tension around a domestic thriller that surprises at first. Why not try it the second time like a new puzzle?

The point is, it works. And again the home of the protagonist, now Stepahnie Maddox, an FBI agent to be exact, and in the previous novel Vivian Miller a CIA employee, they end up becoming a case between professional ethics and the most intense emotions of protection of the family and that betrayed love turned into a paralyzing disenchantment.

Stephanie will discover herself on the tightrope, in that impossible balance in which reconciling profession and personal sphere will go far beyond the reduction of working hours. Because her 17-year-old son Zachary, the result of a forced relationship that Stephanie always kept secret, begins to behave much more strangely than is naturally the attitude of a teenager. Suspicions that something serious may be hiding his son are confirmed when he finds out that Zach may be contacting terrorist cells.

The whole novel revolves around these possible blacks that her son flatly denies because, of course, Stephanie herself has too many unfinished business with her past. First with Senator Halliday, who raped her when she was only 1 years old. The remote idea that the wretch may have found out her paternity and was acting in some way to disrupt her relationship with Zach puts her on complete alarm.

But it may also be that some of the mafias that he dismantled are hanging around his life to destroy it. Or that some partner with whom he had serious problems has planned the worst form of revenge.

With a constant tension and an open ending that leaves many questions and that can give a feeling of an unfinished work (perhaps for the second part?), This novel presents a suspenseful plot in which the greatest anxiety is born from Stephanie's internal forum , camouflaged by the reader between the powerful sensations of unconditional love and even paranoia.
