He can build a man from nothing. Someone just learned how to burn them.
Danny Tyler builds synthetic identities: men with credit files, employment histories and passports that survive a hard look. For an off-books network that does the work the CIA can't put its name on, he and his partner Laura Donovan are the people you send when an operation can't leave fingerprints.
After Caracas, they're good. Maybe too good.
Then Adam Freeman hands them a leak out of Hong Kong. Nineteen months of stolen traffic, a receiving network that hunts back, and eleven days to close it. One face in the file belongs to Laura's past, a man she thought she'd left in Tokyo.
Back in Florida, the man Danny put in an Austrian prison is out. Dimitri Kovalenko sits down at Randy Tyler's breakfast table to show them he can, then goes after the part of the family no one can stand guard over: the paper.
Two wars. One broker selling weapons to both sides. And a partnership built by two people who make lies for a living, and who have never told each other everything.
Synthetic Trust is the second Tyler Network Thriller: a story of fraud, espionage and family, where the only question that matters is who you trust when everyone you know can be faked.
Reads as a standalone.
