Surviving the Lie: A Russell Avery Novel

After the death of his two oldest sources, Russell trades in his life as a former journalist turned private investigator for a peaceful life at home. Aside from the occasional reporting online under the safety of an alias, Russell is enjoying a normal life with a normal girlfriend and suburban bliss just within reach. That is, until his onetime mentor disappears. Russell soon learns that other journalists in the area have gone missing, all under mysterious circumstances. Unable to resist the pull of a good story, he quickly finds himself at odds with a violent band of conspiracy theorists and ex-cops set in their own truth and convinced reporters are the "enemy of the people." Russell sacrificed two careers to the belief in the power of facts. But now, face-to-face with a post-fact America, he must decide if the truth is still worth fighting for.
