Edge of Deception is a high-octane thriller that thrusts readers into a world of betrayal, conspiracies, and relentless action. Evan Cross, a highly skilled knife fighter, finds himself framed for a gruesome murder. With no memory of the crime and the victim's blood on his hands, he's forced to flee the authorities while piecing together the fragmented events of that night. As the police hunt intensifies, Evan's only chance of survival lies in uncovering the real killer and clearing his name. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous his situation becomes. Evan soon discovers that he's caught in the crosshairs of a vast conspiracy connected to his past. Years earlier, he was unknowingly involved in Project Seraph, a covert government program that trained operatives like him, enhancing their reflexes and intuition for deadly covert missions. As he unravels the mystery, he learns that the project was never shut down-it was simply rebranded under the code name Phoenix Protocol. The architects of this program are using operatives like Evan to achieve their own twisted political and financial agendas, and they will stop at nothing to silence him. Desperate for allies, Evan teams up with Maya, a former intelligence agent with her own ties to the conspiracy. Together, they plunge into the dark underworld of Los Angeles, battling assassins, corrupt officials, and former operatives. Their fight takes them from the gritty streets to high-security labs, culminating in a tense and brutal showdown with the real mastermind behind the conspiracy: Marcus Kane, Evan's former mentor and the true architect of Project Seraph. In a final confrontation, Evan is forced to confront his past and make a choice between revenge and justice. The truth behind Project Seraph is exposed to the world, but even with the conspiracy's leaders defeated, Evan knows the shadows of his past will continue to haunt him. Edge of Deception is a gripping tale of survival, trust, and moral dilemmas, where the line between friend and foe is razor thin, and the fight for truth comes at a heavy cost.
