More about Simply Lies
A single mom who’s a former Jersey City detective. A dangerous con artist. These two women go head-to-head in a psychological thriller filled with unpredictable twists and turns.
It begins when Mickey Gibson, who is juggling the demands of two toddlers and a job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and creditor cheats, gets an assignment from a colleague named Arlene Robinson. Gibson is asked to visit the mansion of a notorious arms dealer who has fleeced some of ProEye’s clients and fled. When Gibson arrives at the home to begin her inventory of its assets, an overpowering stench leads her to a secret room. There she discovers a man – a dead and decomposing man – in a chair.
Gibson soon determines nothing is as it seems. There is no arms dealer. Nor does anyone named Arlene Robinson work at ProEye. The dead man turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a guy with mob ties who was in the Witness Protection Program.
From here, things only get worse for Gibson. She becomes a prime suspect in a murder investigation. To clear her name and keep her job, Gibson must prove she has been set up. But why, and by whom?
To answer these questions, Gibson becomes locked in a deadly battle of wits with a woman who is both brilliant and seemingly sociopathic. She’s a woman with no name and a mysteriously traumatic past.
