Crushed Ice (Urban Books)

Chris Davis . . . Elvis Spielberg . . . Jamaican accent . . . British accent . . . Accountant . . . Author . . . High-stakes gambler . . . None of the above? What is the truth? Who is Truth North? His whole existence has been a mystery to many, an enigma few people know to exist. He is a master of disguise, a dweller in secrecy, a teller of many tales—and for the right price, he's a destroyer of lives. When the bodies start turning up after a job gone south, Truth realizes that someone is out to unmask his real identity and kill him. Could it be the world famous rapper caught in Truth's web by accident? Could his enemy be the alluring Collette, blinded after a mishap that killed her husband? Or is it Collette's cousin, Sophia? She's down for anything—that is, if the price is right. Or maybe it's record company mogul Jason North. He taught Truth everything he knows about manipulating people. But what if Jason is fearful that Truth, in fact, knows too much? Truth finds out how tough things can be when his calculations cease to add up, his carefully laid plans backfire, and his life spirals out of control.    Bestselling author Eric Pete has woven a masterful tale of espionage, murder, and intrigue that will leave readers spellbound.
