Behind the Lies

Will Franklin-former academic geek, now recognized as a rare talent in the "fake it 'til you make it" biotech industry-is in the wings for his dream job as next CEO of a global powerhouse. Or so he thinks, until his boss, Chet, calls him into his office and angrily tells him he is going to be fired. Chet hints at impropriety, but won't say more-and before Will can press him he falls so ill that he's put on ventilator care.

Now, instead of losing his job, Will finds himself in the position of supporting Chet's family through the hell of a dire illness. Just as suddenly, he finds his leadership ability tested by a crippling cyberattack that threatens the entire industry and leaves him with little time to untangle the mystery of whatever it is that Chet uncovered before he got sick.

Can Will clear his name before the ax falls-or his marriage collapses-due to his lapse in judgment? And does Bella, a young and beautiful rising star making waves with her own start-up company, have anything to do with this mess?
