This dark, sexy thriller delves into the intoxicating relationship between a vengeful woman and her sister’s possible murderer. FIND HIM. Bernadette Kane never believed that her sister committed suicide. And what she heard about her sister’s mysterious—and sadistic—lover, Wesley Edwards, made her suspect the worst. With his good looks, private jet, and successful career, he could turn a girl’s head. And get away with murder. SEDUCE HIM.

First, Bernadette will have to submit to whatever Wesley wants and become a willing pawn in his twisted games. MAKE HIM PAY. But buried inside the millionaire’s inner sanctum are secrets that go farther than Bernadette ever imagined. They’re plunging her into the same nightmare that trapped her sister. And now the choice between revenge and survival will decide the outcome of Bernadette’s final—and most dangerous—game.

A master of terror and suspense. --Publishers Weekly The novels of Larry Brooks are clever, twisted, bone-chilling. --Danielle Girard, bestselling author of Savage Art and Chasing Darkness An absolute must read, Deadly Faux is guaranteed entertainment.

His name is Larry Brooks. The guy has a slick tone and a crackling, cynical wit with lots of vivid descriptions (of both interior and exterior landscapes), and the sparkling figures of speech dance off the page and explode in your inner ear. Though as modern as an iPad 5S, he is truly and remarkably Chandleresque. He's dazzling. Check out his new one, Deadly Faux --it's sexy, complex, intelligent; a truly delightful novel with
