Description for THE PERFECT LIE by Dinah McCall: THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE FROM THE TRUTH.... CIA agent Jonah Slade is back from deadly undercover work in the jungles of South Ameri ca, battered, bloodied, but successful in putting a notorious drug czar behind bars. But, he discovers, the war has just begun. He learns the woman he loved and lost years ago has been killed in cold blood, her fifteen-year-old son kidnapped. Her sister, Macie Blaine, turns to Jonah for help, and gives him no chance to refuse when she tells him the boy is his son. Stunned and enraged by the discovery, Jonah wants to lash out. Until he makes the connection between the kidnapping and the drug lord, who is solely focused on avenging the death of his own son - the man Jonah killed. It's come down to a battle as old as time itself. An eye for an eye. A son for a son. Yet for Jonah, it's also much more than that. He knows what he is, a hardened and cynical man. But he also knows what he wants. Everything he's been denied: his son - and Macie Blaine's love. Show more
