Concrete Lies: The Jersey War is a gripping urban crime thriller that delves into the seedy underworld of political corruption, construction kickbacks, and the unyielding struggle for justice in Jersey City and Hoboken, New Jersey.
For years, contractors and workers have been extorted by city officials demanding bribes to continue operations. From the mayor's office to local inspectors, a web of greed and violence chokes the city's progress, leaving behind a trail of fear, silence, and blood.
Enter Liam Johnson, a determined local journalist who refuses to be silenced. Armed only with a pen and the power of truth, he risks his career-and his life-to shine a light on a system steeped in deception. Through explosive editorials and relentless investigation, Liam tries to expose the dirty dealings gripping the metro area.
But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous it becomes. Violence escalates. Allies vanish. Love and betrayal collide. And just when victory seems within reach, the machinery of corruption resets itself.
Taut, realistic, and uncompromising, this novel explores the cost of truth, the resilience of hope, and the tragic cycles of power. In a city where concrete foundations hide buried secrets, one man's voice may not be enough to shake the system.
