“Someone is lying.”
Marcus brings the conventional crime-investigation dimension: interviews, pressure-reading, institutional instinct and the ability to detect the story people want to sell.
Interrogation, surveillance, security and corporate investigations. His experience helps him recognize when a witness’s account or a company’s records need closer scrutiny. He no longer carries federal powers: interviews depend on cooperation, and compulsory evidence gathering belongs to the appropriate authorities.
Blunt, economical and skeptical of polished narratives.
He can interpret concealment too quickly when confusion or bureaucracy might still explain the mess.
In The Water Line, Marcus keeps pressure on the human side of the case, especially when the dead technician’s story begins to look less and less accidental.
Ethan, Maya, Marcus and Lena follow the same cases from very different professional angles.
Discover the team’s investigative method and the first novel where their skills are put to the test.
