BLURB:
There
are 4.7 billion searchable sites make up 10% of the web, the other 90% is
dedicated to the "Dark web". Within that environment there is a
thriving economy where everything is for sale: Sex, Armies and Code for hire.
Well-known companies buy and sell for governments and NGO’s (non-governmental
organizations). They appear as a benign legal boutique companies and
consultants, but their true purpose is to be the middlemen/cyber lynchpin for
these illicit goods and services.
ISABELLA NUNEZ owns a computer firm in Brooklyn with her lover JACOB COSTA. Accepting her infertility they have a blue nose pit bull called Justice as their “child” and live simple lives as techy nerds. Isabella’s idyllic life is shattered when several days after her lover’s ex-wife, SIMONE JOHNS, reported death, Simone sends Jacob an email to come save their child, he didn’t know they had.

EXCERPT
Thursday 6:00 a.m, Orlando at Sanctuary
“Digging graves in a golf course is not as easy as it looks’
thought John Kooma. He stood up as the cool Florida morning wind dried the
sweat from his soaked work shirt. A pair of chipmunks stopped a foot away and
then turned and ran away. He should be use to it by now. It wasn’t like this
was the first body he’d put here.
Watching the chipmunks retreat he thought ‘Look at that even
animals have enough sense not to be nosy.’
John reached into his back pocket and pulled out a bottle of spring
water. After taking a large gulp from the bottle he wiped his mouth and looked
at the grave in front of him.
“It sure was a shame she had to go. At least she won’t be
alone. I’ve buried the other five in this same area so you all can talk to each
other if you need to. I think being nosy is a sin, so you might not be making
it to the Lord any time so but. you’ll have each other.”
John looked at the other new grass plugs in the area. He was a tidy man. He always cleaned up after himself. After
picking up his shovel, he continued to even the ground. Then, just like so many
before her, he put the grass plugs over them. When he was done he noticed he
hadn’t brought the water cans, so he just emptied his bottle of water over her
plot. It wasn’t enough water but he knew he’d be back, there were always nosy
people.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Being a child
of divorce, I have experienced both sides of the American Family. I understand
there is a loss to the family unit that no longer has a father in it. In the face of that loss, I discovered a
woman can rise to the occasion and not replace a man but offer her own
strength, moral compass and guidance. In this environment a child can grow up
feeling loved, accepted and ultimately successful in life.
Those
experiences in my formative years have made me more aware of the women around
me and the daily feats of resourcefulness and ingenuity that goes unnoticed and
unacknowledged by society. My stories highlight societal issues and the
ever-changing challenges women face that I've observed during my life.

My Review
Sanctuary of Lies is book one from Chad Bishop's new series, Chest of Secrets. It is not my normal read, but I thought it was a pretty good. I found the writing unique and the plot intriguing. It is full of action, suspense and mystery, making it easy to turn the pages and hard to put down.
I give Sanctuary of Lies four stars. I look forward to reading the next installment from the Chest of Secrets series.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
