The Six Sides of Truth
The Six Sides of Truth, a cerebral espionage thriller, tells the story of Laine Holland, an award-winning journalist, and her quest to find those responsible for murdering her husband Nate Whitehall, a US AID official and his best friend, Christopher Williams, architect of the Defense Department’s most advanced counterterror tool, and Senator Kendall, a legacy senator, whose family has been in power for more than 100 years, and is known for her ruthless tactics to achieve her goals. After a terrorist attack in Manhattan, Senator Kendall, who is pictured with one of the suspects during a party at her home and stands to gain money, power, and stature, sends her team to initiate termination protocols. With a whole-of-government effort to find those responsible for the catastrophic homeland event, the Senator is expecting to be questioned. Unbeknownst to Laine, she is the final variable in the senator’s plan to remove suspicion. The Director of the CIA, who has been tracking the senator, sends a counter team to secure Laine’s safety. Once back in DC, Laine manages to outmaneuver her security detail, and returns to her home, where the CIA Director is waiting to explain her choices. Laine contacts another journalist, Sebastian Jones, a friend of Nate’s, and they sort through the USB drive searching for the evidence that exposes the Senator and other members of government. The Six Sides of Truth, a cerebral espionage thriller, exposes the inner sanctums of government where money and power collide, and everyone is expendable.
