A Fortune in Lies

For Eric Mathews the words were crippling. ""As of right now, who I am is of no importance to you. What is important is the fact that I now have your wife in my possession - and that from here on out, you and I are going to be partners."" Hours earlier, thirty-four year old Eric Mathews was living an enviable life as a successful banker, residing in an immaculate home on the outskirts of Orange County, California with his beautiful wife, Michelle. Little did Eric know that his rather mundane Wednesday was about to become a life or death race against time - a race where Michelle's life hangs in the balance of his every action. With only twelve hours to produce his wife's multi-million dollar ransom, Eric is forced to make his most difficult decisions - all while obeying the rules set forth by his wife's abductor: a set of rules that are constantly changing. A Fortune In Lies is a story of love, trust, betrayal and murder - an electrifying thrill ride full of twists that will keep you guessing till the end.
