When seasoned detective Alex Carter is called in to investigate the high-profile disappearance of a wealthy business tycoon, no one expects the case to become a tangled web of lies, deceit, and manipulation. Known for his sharp mind and impeccable track record, Alex has built a reputation for always uncovering the truth-until this case, where every lead seems to pull him deeper into a maze of secrets that challenge everything he believes.

As Alex works his way through a list of suspects-each with a motive to see the tycoon gone-he begins to question his own instincts. With his personal life becoming increasingly entangled in the investigation and his judgment clouded by unexpected alliances, Alex finds himself in a race against time. But the more he digs, the more he realizes that the truth is not what it seems, and the detective may not be the one seeking justice-he might be the one being deceived.

In The Deceptive Detective, the line between right and wrong blurs, and Alex must confront the ultimate question: can he trust his own mind, or is he the pawn in a larger, more dangerous game? As the mystery unravels, Alex discovers that the greatest deception might not be the one he's investigating-but the one within himself.
