FROM REVIEWERS:
It takes talent for an author to keep a complex story with multiple things happening from becoming too difficult for the reader to keep everything straight. …a great story. The different story threads kept me guessing. Several twists near the end were big surprises and made the ending even more satisfying. ~ BigAl's Books and Pals – 7/19/11 - Amazon Top Reviewer

…Helen Hanson, she has an artistry that is hard to deny. Hanson has developed a diabolical plot, ones that seems both real and deadly. I was impressed how Hanson was able to take two separate occurrences and draw a line between the two, intersecting and bringing them to fruition in a way that is both believable and impressive. ~ Tic Toc – 7/31/11 - Blogcritics & Seattle Post Intelligencer

...3 Lies expertly weaves between a number of different view points, both antagonist and protagonist. 3 Lies is an engrossing thriller that presents a novel twist on the "ticking clock" rescue. There are no superfluous characters in the book. Even the various antagonists are provided very distinct personalities and motivations. ~ J.A. Beard – 6/27/11 - Good Book Alert

Thriller Extraordinaire! Ms. Hanson fills this story with numerous twists and turns that kept me wondering how does this tie in and hoping and praying that Beth, and the other hostages, get rescued in time. ~ The Book Diva - 5/27/11 – Reviewer

...a vivid and well thought out story that grabs you right from the beginning. ...a well-written fast-paced novel that is full of intrigue, wit and likeable characters. The various twists and turns keep you turning the pages and wondering "who done it" right to the very end of the story. ...I look forward to reading more from Helen Hanson. ~ Killie - 6/8/11 - Books and Things

A True Must Read. Right from the start the reader will be reeled in: hook, line and sinker. ...you are left with one wild ride. Ms. Hanson's writing style is very likable... If you are looking for a great espionage thriller then look no further and read 3 Lies… ~ Jaidis Shaw – 3/27/11 - Juniper Grove Blog
DESCRIPTION:
At CIA headquarters, a young officer discovers that terrorists may have commandeered their computer systems to launch an unauthorized mission. Elsewhere, conspirators abduct nine people to manipulate the rules of their game. Two disparate ambitions — Clint Masters becomes the reluctant link in the chain of danger.
Ever since Clint’s almost ex-wife dumped him, he bobs along the Massachusetts coast in a sailboat with his black lab for company. He avoids all forms of technology, a counterintuitive effort for the burned-out founder of CatSat Laboratories. Tired of clutching the brass ring, he needed to untether, step off the corporate treadmill, and smell a flower. Fortunately, he met one, a beautiful, unspoiled woman who doesn’t treat him like a commodity. His relationship with Beth offers more promise than his marriage ever did, even if she is on dialysis for her recovering kidneys, until she disappears.
In spite of the evidence, Beth's family refuses to admit she’s in danger. Without routine dialysis, she won’t survive. As Clint realizes that he loves Beth, damn-near ex-wife Paige sashays back into his life with disturbing news.
While the CIA young gun tracks his quarry, Clint enlists the help of two men to find Beth, a blithe Brit named Merlin, and Todd, his playboy partner-in-tech. But Clint must find Beth before her kidneys fail. And before someone unloads a bullet in his head.
