Lies
A New Thriller From The Author of RUNNER BOY
Eric is aging, well but not happily. The thing is, he’s been lonely since his wife died, so when he’s given the opportunity to invest in a real estate deal, he jumps. The deal seems simple he buys a home-builder's model home to free up capital for the builder. The builder leases the model back and it is sold in a year or two at a tidy profit. It seems so good that Eric gets his brother Kevin to invest..
At first, Eric enjoys being involved in the home-building business. But when the builder stops paying the bills, and Eric is looking not only at mounting expenses but liens for unpaid contractors, he knows the deal has gone sour. When the FBI raids the builder's office, "sour" doesn't begin to describe the situation.
Clearly it was a mistake to bring his brother into the deal; Kevin had problems of his own and didn’t deserve what happened to him. Worse was what happed to Eric’s old business acquaintance. And that poor young woman, that was a tragedy. My God, who could have known? It was just a business deal, after all. Gone bad, obviously. Very bad. But Eric didn’t do anything wrong. Did he?

Blah
I had never heard of this author and only purchased the book because it had a 5 star rating. I didn’t look at how many people had reviewed it, but it must have been one and that person was probably the author’s friend. It definitely was not a 5 star. It was drawn out and could have been half as long. The only characters developed were the narrator and his siblings. It was boring.
