Tide of Lies

The salt air of Port-Arnaud, France, usually carries the scent of fresh seafood and sea breezes. But for Leo Maxwell, international detective and reluctant visitor, it reeks of secrets and lies. Hired by the grieving sister of Alain Moreau, a celebrated chef found drowned on the beach, Leo must navigate a treacherous web of local rivalries and family vendettas.

The police call it an accident, but Leo, with his keen eye for detail and his unconventional method of using zodiac traits to understand human behavior, suspects something far more sinister. Was it the jealous rival chef? The powerful mayor with a hidden agenda? The embittered ex-wife? Or the devoted sous chef, hiding a secret of her own?

As Leo digs deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy of silence, a tide of deception that threatens to pull him under. He must unravel the truth before the killer claims another victim. Tide of Lies is the first thrilling installment in The Zodiac Detective series by Daniel Sanjurjo.
