Investigative journalist Maya Reed knows what happens when you dig too deeply. Her career has already paid the price once. With an eight-year-old son to protect and bills piling up, she should be grateful for the safe assignments now landing on her desk.

Then the heirs of powerful families begin dying.

A politician's daughter.The grandson of a business dynasty.Young successors born into wealth, influence, and carefully protected family names.

The deaths look unrelated—accidents, private tragedies, unfortunate coincidences. But Maya sees a pattern others have missed.

Someone is hunting the descendants of families built on corruption, bribery, exploitation, and secrets powerful people thought they had buried.

As Maya follows the trail, she crosses paths with Thomas Wade, the charismatic owner of a technology empire. Intelligent, charming, and seemingly eager to help, Thomas becomes something Maya never expected while chasing a killer:

Someone she trusts.

Someone she wants.

And someone who may know far more about the deaths than he should.

Soon Maya is trapped between a compromised system, a killer dispensing his own brutal version of justice, and a conspiracy that may reach further than either of them understands.

Lineage of Lies is a dark, character-driven thriller about corruption, inherited power, obsession, justice, and the dangerous line between exposing evil and becoming it.

Some families inherit fortunes.Some inherit power.Some inherit the sins.
