Deceits of the Past

Deceits of the Past novel by Nicola Lonie


Deceits of the Past

For over a decade, James Wilson has lived with the unbearable loss of a son taken from his life after a devastating custody battle.

Then, one freezing winter night, everything changes.

A shadow appears from the darkness — the ghostly figure of his estranged son, desperate, frightened, and pleading for help.

Unable to ignore what he has seen, James becomes consumed by the need to uncover the truth. His search leads him into a maze of lies, buried secrets, manipulation, and unanswered questions surrounding the child he never stopped loving.

As he digs deeper with the help of a private investigator, his ex-wife fights to keep the past hidden, blocking him at every turn with disturbing half-truths and dangerous deception.

But the deeper James goes, the more horrifying the truth becomes.

Haunted by grief and driven by desperation, he finds himself trapped between the living and the dead — where guilt, betrayal, and long-hidden secrets threaten to destroy any hope of peace or closure.

Dark, emotional, and psychologically charged, Deceits of the Past is a haunting story of loss, obsession, family betrayal, and a father who refuses to stop searching for the truth.
