A note is found with the body that alludes to a soccer tragedy in Lima in which 300 people suffocated. The note baffles police, but not the very much alive Luis Echevarria and magazine writer and Peruvian American ELIA CHRISTIE.
Elia is riding with an investigator while writing a story on violent crime police officers in Augusta and is present when the body is found.

Deadly Deception points out the importance of the cocaine trade to the impoverished Peruvian Indians, wakes up the reader to world-wide lucrative archaeological looting, and demonstrates how to use the lifesaving pacemaker to snuff out a life. The majority of the action in this thriller takes place in Perú, and the culture, history and politics of the area are woven throughout the story.
Deadly Deception deceives, excites and intrigues, but above all, entertains.
