An unexpected affair. A lover’s betrayal. A brutal murder.

Private investigator Angelo Barsotti is just getting by, moonlighting as a bartender at a cop bar and obsessing over the murder of his wife, which he’s been unable to solve for two years. When tech giant Grant Dogon tries to hire him to get his best friend and former platoon comrade, Craig, out of jail, Angelo wants nothing to do with the case. Craig Mazer, who is accused of killing his wife, Helen, has no alibi. But Grant comes bearing a briefcase of cash and a refusal to take no for an answer.

As Angelo reluctantly investigates the case, with his enthusiastic associate and friend, Lewis, all roads lead to Dogon Tech, where Craig works for Grant. Why is a tech security firm having so many security breaches of its own? What is Grant hiding before the company’s public offering? As Angelo tries to uncover these secrets, he’s met with lie after lie. Is he putting himself and others in danger by pursuing this angle?

While working this case, new clues about Angelo’s wife emerge from an unexpected source, but he must solve who killed Helen Mazer first. Will Angelo be able to see through the lies to find the truth and finally solve what happened to his wife?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ryan Spell is a master storyteller straight from the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. By daylight, Ryan navigates the complex world of environmental consultancy, but by moonlight, he weaves tales of mystery and intrigue. His lifelong affair with fiction, especially those tales featuring cunning private investigators and dogged lone wolf policemen, sparked a fervent passion for writing. This fascination, fueled by endless nights of reading and days spent dreaming up his own plots, led to publishing his debut novel.

Ryan's writing journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, detailed research, and a boundless imagination. With no formal background in law enforcement or detective work, he dove headfirst into the worlds of those who did, bringing authenticity and depth to his characters and settings. His tales, peppered with elements from his own life and the people he has encountered, bridge the gap between reality and the mysteries of his own creation.

When Ryan is not fully immersed in creating the next captivating chapter, he experiences immense joy in the joys of family life with his wife and their two energetic sons. The commitment he brings to his environmental work and writing shines through in his role as a husband and father, making his personal journey as engaging as the stories he creates for his readers.

Ryan Spell is not just an author; he's an adventurer, constantly exploring the limits of his creativity and inviting readers along for the thrilling journey. His works promise to immerse you in a world where justice is sought, mysteries are unraveled, and the human spirit prevails.

The intriguing and provocative book "An Army of Lies" by Ryan Spell goes deeply into the murky world of espionage and deceit. This book is a compelling read that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end thanks to its engaging plot, complicated characters, and richly drawn surroundings.

Spell writes with talent and evocation, conjuring up vivid images with words and engrossing readers in the narrative. Readers of "An Army of Lies" will be left in suspense until the very end thanks to the plot's maze-like twists and turns.

"An Army of Lies" completely engrossed me as a reader. The book explores the intricacies of human nature and the decisions we make in the face of moral ambiguity, while also challenging the reader's perspective of truth and lying. For anyone who enjoys a suspenseful and well-written espionage thriller that will keep you wondering right up to the very end, I heartily suggest this book.
