White Lies
A city on edge. A crime family in turmoil. A truth too dangerous to stay buried.
Investigative journalist Stella LaRosa has spent her career exposing corruption, but when whispers of a brewing war between San Francisco’s crime syndicates reach her, she realizes this fight is closer to home than she ever imagined. The Emerald Legion, a ruthless Irish gang, is making a move for power—and they’re willing to reduce the city to ash to claim it.
As Stella digs deeper, she uncovers a deadly plot set to unfold during the Chinese New Year Parade, an attack designed to send a violent message to anyone who dares stand in the Legion’s way. With few people she can trust, she turns to Detective Rob Griffin, a man who knows her better than most but whose badge keeps them on opposite sides of the law. And when FBI Agent Ana Rodriguez steps in with intel that raises the stakes even higher, Stella realizes this isn’t just a battle for control—it’s a reckoning decades in the making.
With time running out, betrayal closing in, and a past she can no longer outrun, Stella must decide how far she’s willing to go to stop the Emerald Legion before the streets of San Francisco run red.
For fans of relentless, high-stakes thrillers, White Lies is a gripping ride through deception, power, and the dangerous cost of the truth.
