Rules in Deception

by Ceet

Some people believe that Love is the most common thread connecting mankind. Others feel the hate man displays for one another is the main link. For Albert Hamilton and Chance Morrow, there is something else that dominates their worlds though. Chance is a young man residing in Philadelphia’s Malcolm X housing projects with his girlfriend Mya and their four-year-old daughter Gladys. Albert is a billionaire investor living primarily at his Lakeland New Jersey mansion with his beautiful wife of twenty years Daniella.

Both men grew up in the same decrepit high-rises, where they were first engrained with the power of lies. Chance has become a master of deception within his relationship, even breaking Mya’s acceptance his lies down to a science of stages, while Albert has built a fortune by honing his cunningness. Both men seem to be in great control of their respective circumstances; that is until a series of seemingly random events begin to turn their worlds upside down.

Albert’s only son is murdered in the very same projects he once called home, nearly twenty years to the day that he lost his father in the same fashion, and in the same place. He becomes hell-bent on removing those buildings from the face of the earth. Meanwhile Chance has a surreal encounter with a woman he’d lusted for from afar. Despite his relationship and better judgment, he can’t help but be drawn to her.

Two men, two completely different lifestyles, connected by the lies they tell.
Both men know what they want, and both are willing to risk everything to get it.
What they don’t know is that their lives and childhood residences are just the beginning of their connection to one another, and the truth is slowly revealed with every lie they uncover. As they struggle to find out who they can really trust and who has truly been the master of deception, the revelations quickly become a matter of life and death.

This is another fast-paced, action-packed tale by Ceet The Author, a quick read that will keep you glued to the pages from start to finish. This story will have readers fighting over which character was the true villain, which was the true victim, and who got exactly what they deserved.

About the author

Ceet The Author hails from South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he began honing his craft as an artist as early as age nine. At fourteen he wrote a short story for his high school English class entitled “Summertime in my neighborhood”, and fifteen years later that story became the basis for Ceet’s first official release, 2009’s “The Whore and The Virgin.” The book became an instant hood classic and all of the positive feedback inspired Ceet to release his second effort, “A Dog’s Day” that very same year.

While gaining recognition as a writer Ceet then began pursuing another passion, filmmaking and videography. In 2010 he wrote, produced, and directed “The Wrong Few Brothas” movie/music video starring City Council and Jay Stars. Also in 2010 was the release of “The Dead End Movement”, a documentary about the Philadelphia community where Ceet was raised. After completing the documentary Ceet went on to produce and direct a number of independent film projects, including the “The BARZ freestyle series” and the “Dead End Cyphers”, as well as a number of music videos for artist in and around Philadelphia, including the 2012 street banger “The South Philly Anthem.”

Today Ceet continues to study his craft and pursue his dreams from his home in South Philly. He’s already released several more novels under his imprint BRP Entertainment, as well as several skits, web series, and music videos. With many more projects down the line Ceet shows no signs of slowing down.
