For three years, Kate Marshall has been mourning the loss of her husband and four-year-old son in a boating accident. But when she spots a familiar-looking child on a mall escalator, she's convinced it's her son. With police skeptical of her story, she turns to private investigator Connor Sullivan for help. As the former Secret Service agent digs into the case, the boating "accident" begins to look increasingly suspicious. But if Kate's son is alive, someone is intent on keeping him hidden--and may go to lethal lengths to protect a sinister secret.
As Irene Hannon's many fans have come to expect, Deceived is filled with complex characters, unexpected twists, and a riveting plotline that accelerates to an explosive finish.

My review;
I am so excited that I was able read this book by Irene Hannon. I am always on the lookout for her books and I was glad to be given the opportunity to read this one. This is part of her A Private Justice Series. Deceived is the kind of book that keeps you guessing and full of twists. I loved the whole book, the storyline, the characters, and all of the action. It also had a bit of romance. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishers and all opinions are my own.
