Dangerous Deception

Some secrets are worth dying to protect ...

Professor John Raymond lies paralysed and unable to speak.

His colleague, brilliant young medical researcher Breeanna Montgomery, is attacked by a shotgun-wielding stranger. Before the night is over, the man is dead, and Breeanna is fleeing from someone even more ruthless … and deadly.

Rogan McKay’s search for his missing brother forces him into a dangerous act of deception as the trail leads him to Breanna. When he confronts her, a shocking chain of events reveals her family’s dark secrets.

But nothing Rogan discovers about this woman will be as astounding as the truth behind the experiment Professor Raymond was trying to hide ...


Reviews...

"A taut suspense thriller ..."

Gold Coast Bulletin

"Dangerous Deception is an intricately plotted, fast moving thriller, with absorbing characters and an intriguing plot. Fans of this book should also try some earlier novels, in particular Deadly Tide or Until Death."

Sue Gammon (ABC Wide Bay Queensland)

"Dangerous Deceptions is a frantic thriller that starts fast, travels like lightning from Melbourne to Brisbane and delivers more than the odd twist along the way. This is an ideal book for lovers of thrillers and lovers of romance novels alike."

CrimeDownUnder

"This is an action-packed, well-written thriller..."
"If you enjoy action, complicated plots and a hint of romance, then this is the book for you."

Sisters in Crime Australia Inc.

"Be warned: the cracking pace of this book never lets up. What was the shattering information that researcher Breeanna should have been given by the now paralysed Professor Raymond? Why is she on the run? Who is after her? Her family has secrets to hide as Rogan McKay, hunting for his missing brother, soon learns. Have chocolate on hand to keep your energy levels up as you keep the pages turning."

Woman's Day

"Dangerous Deception is a page-turner with all the elements of the classic airport novel: action, mystery, intrigue, double crosses, relentless pursuits, sexual tension and a nail-biting climax. In Matthew Reilly-style punchy chapters, Sandy Curtis has written an ideal travelling companion for a long journey or a day at the beach. This book is instantly addictive and pure escapism."
