The Janus Deceptions

Dutch N. Almasboi

And I am not one of them!

When everything you know about yourself is revealed to be a lie, you have three options. The first is to retreat into a state of denial and hope the demons at your door go away. The second is to run, trying as hard as you can to put distance between yourself and those demons.

If you're Donny Rathkey, a retired school superintendent with a 163 IQ and no time for self-pity, you'll take the third option: hitch up your big-boy pants, face the reality that's tormenting you, punch it in the nose, and keep on punching until one of you drops to the ground.

You might have a chance at uncovering the truth ... but only if you're willing to do some questionable things along the way.

And only if you see it to the end.
