DUPLICITY DECEPTION and LIES is a trilogy. The author, Peter Eisenhut, blends mystery, romance, and history into three thrillers with unexpected twists and turns. The stories focus on the lives of intelligence operatives. Peter Troutman and Donna Wolf are common denominators in all three of these stories. The stories focus on different phases in their lives, the relationships they have with other people, and how the nature of their work strains these relationships beyond the norm.
