A routine lie-detection case pulls deception expert Jack Kovar into a deadly web of elite power brokers, hidden trafficking networks, and secrets powerful people will kill to protect...

The Broker’s Game is the gripping second installment in The Tenacity Files, a tense, character-driven thriller drawn from the real-world shadows of high-stakes investigations.

Jack Kovar—the man once dubbed the “Human Lie Detector”—returns to confront deception that stretches far beyond individual betrayal. What begins as a routine behavioral audit for a suspicious husband quickly unravels into something far larger: a meticulously constructed network involving elite wellness retreats, hidden trafficking pipelines, compromised intelligence assets, and billion-dollar power plays disguised as philanthropy.

When a wealthy widow’s estate hides deadly secrets—and a former ally turned rival reemerges with unfinished business—Jack is pulled into a deadly game where the rules are written by people who never lose. Safe houses become traps. Allies become uncertain. Every truth extracted comes at a brutal cost.

As Jack dissects micro-expressions, encrypted trails, and institutional lies, he must navigate moral gray zones, old wounds, and a relentless adversary who treats human lives as currency.

Because the most dangerous lies aren’t told by one person.

They are protected by systems powerful enough to make them look like truth.
