A Storm of Lies

"Not only am I not kissing you now, but I'm never kissing you again." With those words, Randy Zinn's pregnant wife of 16 years sets in motion a custody battle that will test his calm in the face of personal destruction. And composure matters, for she is falsely accusing him of emotional abuse, and any sign of turmoil might confirm it. And yet what could be more upsetting than taking his kids away forever?But it's all a lie. At its heart is the slowly unraveling mystery of why a stranger has been replacing the woman he loves. Now she completes the transformation from trusted spouse into an unrecognizable threat capable of an affair, parental kidnapping, withholding medical care from their children, and more. And all the while, she only admits to purposely keeping him ignorant so that he won't feel worse.Suspicious and distraught, he sets about springing her traps and setting those of his own, the well-being of his children at stake as much as his right to see them, for the truth his wife has been hiding is a threat to them as well. Especially if she succeeds in keeping them to herself.
