A robbery in London. The murder of a priest at the end of World War Two. Genocide in Namibia. The discovery of the remains of Hitler's secretary.

Something connects all this. Former British spy Jack Price knows the answer, and he's willing to die to keep the secret. The problem? He's not the only one who knows.

It’s the lies that are not heard but kept as secrets, that own us all. Deep in the world of espionage and deception, how far is Jack willing to go to fulfil his mission?

This is the first book in The Lies and Consequences Series and marks the introduction of Patrick West. At this stage of his life, Patrick is a  young, impressionable Metropolitan Police Temporary-Detective. West is coerced into the secret intelligence community by Jack Price who offers excitement with dangerous adventures. Once his signature is again added to an Official Secret Act document, he becomes the soul-mate of Fraser Ughert, the epitome of an experienced British operative who knows the smooth way along the Westminister corridors of power, so often mistaken by Jack as an army assault course.
