Book:   “IN THE SHADOW OF LIES”

Shadow of Lies

Blurb:  

Richmond, California. World War II.  Marine Lieutenant Oliver Wright comes home from the war in the Pacific injured and afraid his career as a homicide detective is over.  But when an Italian Prisoner of War is murdered the night the Port Chicago Mutiny verdicts are announced, and black soldiers are suspected of the crime, the Army asks Oliver to find out the truth. 

He and his canine partner Harley join forces with an Italian POW captain and with a black MP embittered by a segregated military. During their investigation, these unlikely allies expose layers of deceit and violence that stretch back to World War I and uncover a common thread that connects the murder to earlier crimes. 

In the Shadow of Lies reveals the darkness and turmoil of the Bay Area during World War II, while celebrating the spirit of the everyday people who made up the home front. Its intriguing characters will resonate with the reader long after its deftly intertwined mysteries are solved.

      1. I love the cover process. I have a good design sense, but don’t have the computer skills needed to create one, so someone else does that part. Good luck. 🙂 Maybe you could post them and let us comment. Or maybe not.

      1. Thank you, Billy Ray. I would love to have your impressions of it. I’m hoping to have the revised version up by June in case you want to wait. It is the same book but made more reader friendly. One of the perks of this labor of love was that I was able to “unkill” a character whose death was lamented by everyone who read it——including me. Yay!!

  12. Mary, the softcover version of your book (which you sent me) is sitting about two feet from me right now. I have just started it and I am finding it a fascinating and compelling read. Great post, Jan!

    1. Thank you, Ron. I am so pleased you are reading it. I loved writing it partly because I was able to shed some light on aspects of WW2 and the homefront that not many people are familiar with. Thank you for stopping by.

    2. Thank you Karen. I enjoyed the research too much. It was difficult to stop researching and start writing. You might be familiar with that problem. I just posted a review of Davida which I loved.
