Book Description

The truth is only revealed when you pull back the blanket of lies.


From multiple award-winning and Amazon best-selling political fiction author Mikael Carlson comes a conspiracy thriller novel that pulls back the curtain on American politics in the first installment of this page-turning suspense series.

The worst school shooting in American history has created a maelstrom of political agendas, personal vendettas, and brash cover-ups. The race is on to unlock the secrets behind this terrible tragedy before the truth is hidden forever. Do the ends justify the means, or is there no such thing as Justifiable Deceit?

Conspiracy. Cover-up. Ruthless politics. Is it fiction or today's reality?

Ethan Harrington was a typical teenager when his world got turned upside down in the aftermath of the worst school shooting in American history. A year later, he has become the country’s leading gun control activist and a media darling. When Ethan teams up with a powerful senator to push an extreme gun measure through Congress, a divided America watches the political fireworks in Washington.

As both sides of the debate mobilize for an epic showdown, journalist Tierra Campos and FBI Special Agent Victoria Larsen are about to reveal to the public that everything they know about the massacre that launched this movement may be wrong.

If you like strong female protagonists and novels that keep you guessing, you’ll enjoy reading The Tierra Campos contemporary fiction novels late into the night!

PRAISE FOR THE TIERRA CAMPOS SERIES

  • I’m not all that sure if the word ‘unputdownable’ has made it into the dictionary yet, but honestly, it’s the best word to describe my reaction to Justifiable Deceit by Mikael Carlson.
