ENTER THE
ZONE OF DECEIT

Christmas 1984, New York City. Philip Sanders lost his perfect life when his wife Ellie fell from 25,000 feet. Then the evidence began to surface — and the truth became stranger than grief. When he discovers that his wife may still be alive and tied to the city's darkest secrets, Philip is forced into a world of crime and ruthless control. The people who pursue him are powerful: they own the land, they own the city, they own the facts. As Philip searches for life and death answers, he unravels not just Ellie's identity, but his own. Every falsehood he exposes brings him closer to the truth. But it's not the whole truth.
