Meet intuitive & charming sleuth T. R. Softly, who must solve the case of a secret agency threatening to topple both the mafia & the US government―perfect for fans of Chris Hauty, David Baldacci, and Joseph Finder.
“A broad, sweetly fantastical satire just perfect for readers in the mood.”
—Kirkus Reviews
A federal plea deal in Manhattan goes off the rails when a mob boss inexplicably recants his testimony days after voluntarily confessing to a lifetime of crime, and immediately, an FBI agent involved with the case goes missing. To find out what happened, the Feds call in T. R. Softly, detective fiction’s newest and most intuitive sleuth. Softly’s search takes him to Washington, D.C., where the “oddest of the forty-odd presidents of the United States” is suddenly laying plans to evaporate the U.S. government, as assassination rumors percolate in dark corners. Co-opted into partnering with a secret government agency, Softly struggles to understand how many games are being played and by whom. Is he master of his fate or has he been the unwitting agent of friends and foe? A twisting, rollicking tale that enthralls readers until the last page.
““Witty prose complement the clever plotting.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Everything Is Jake gives us a new sleuth to follow: T.R. Softly, whose latest assignment takes him into a world of political intrigue that requires all his considerable talents to unwind . . . This smart book holds your attention to the very end.”
—Annette Gordon Reed, Author, On Juneteenth;
Carl M. Loeb University Professor, Harvard University
“Everything is Jake brilliantly immerses the reader in a suspenseful ride from beginning to end. It is a smart and entertaining read, and the perfect novel for our times, pointing to even more difficult civil liberties issues than we’ve yet experienced, in a future just being born. This is exactly the novel I would expect of Jethro Lieberman — an exceptional legal scholar and a masterful writer.”
— Deborah Archer, president, American Civil Liberties Union
