About this ebook

When TV reporter Pete Lemaster gets an after-hours call from a college friend, he doesn’t expect it to catapult him into another big story in his reporting career. Scott “Uncle Scotty” Wilkins—a globe-trotting, charismatic businessman—has been arrested at a Singapore airport with enough drugs to guarantee a life sentence.

The case explodes into an international spectacle. Viral images of Scotty charm the public, fuel conspiracy theories, and attract opportunists eager to profit from the scandal. For Pete, it’s personal—he owes the family a favor. But pursuing the truth could compromise his career.

Teaming up with police lieutenant Rebecca Dawes, Pete follows a trail that leads from glossy boardrooms to Singapore’s prisons. Every clue exposes another enemy: betrayed lovers, vengeful spouses, shady investors, and rivals with millions at stake.

But the closer Pete gets to uncovering who framed his friend, the more he realizes he may be the next pawn in a deadly game of deception.

If you enjoy journalist-sleuth mysteries like The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, you’ll be hooked on The Lemaster Files!

I enjoyed reading this story although I did not get to read the first one I will definitely be going back and reading it. The author really knows how to pull you in and keep you interested till the end. I can’t wait to see what he brings us next. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys mystery and suspense and a lot of drama. I received an ARC from Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and voluntary review.

Enjoyed this book because it's so realistic and things similar are happening in the US. A friends uncle has been detained overseas where they cane people who disobeying their laws. The man has been held in prison and he states he didn't plant the drugs in his luggage. Love hearing how the reporters go about uncovering the situation, how it all really went down and how they are gearing up to help the man go to trial in the foreign country. Exciting, fast paced at times, slow at times ...
