Cascading Lies is a suspense novel written by D.R. Willis. Roth Braun is a German national living incognito in the United States in 1945. He’s in Savannah, Georgia, when a rapidly approaching thunderstorm chases him into Pete’s Grocers. While no one is in the front of the store, he begins to hear the sound of voices arguing from the back room, and he can see a large man through the doorway. They are arguing about money, which the other man, obviously the shopkeeper, claims he doesn’t have. Braun suddenly hears gunfire, one shot followed instantly by another, and when he enters the back room, he sees the two men lying there, one dead and the other dying as he watches. Hearing a noise, he’s barely able to detect the figure of a woman as she dashes through the store and leaves. Figuring to take advantage of the situation, Braun locks the store’s door and flips over the closed sign, then he checks and empties the cash register, searches the pockets of the large man and finds a key.

D.R. Willis’ thriller novel, Cascading Lies, is taut and suspenseful. I enjoyed the time shift from the 1940s to the present day, and wondered just what had been set in motion when Braun finds the key on the extortioner’s body. While this is the third book in Willis’ Nick Davis trilogy, the author provides enough information to allow this novel to stand on its own. Nick Davis and Jane are marvelous main characters who are each tormented by dreams and tragic pasts which they cannot escape. The element of industrial espionage and the intricate web of lies that surround Nick presents an intriguing and thought-provoking puzzle for the reader to mull over as they follow the trail of deceit and death which seems to be aimed directly at him. Cascading Lies is action-packed and fast-paced, and it’s impossible to put down once you’ve started it. It’s highly recommended.
