"Murder by Deepfake," a new book by Steve Graybill, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Agripping new installment of the acclaimed Blake/Garnier international thriller series. Drawing directly from his 30-year career as a global private equity executive, Graybill delivers a timely, suspenseful narrative exploring the dangerous intersection of corporate power, deepfake technology, and global organized crime.

In this second book, protagonists Natasha Garnier and Jacob Blake are settled into their high-powered roles as Vice Chairwoman and Inspector General of the Renaissance Group, a private equity giant with global political influence. Their world shatters when a shocking video surfaces depicting their trusted colleague, Sammy Ching, leading a deadly raid on a drug warehouse in Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle.

Arrested and facing execution, Sammy's survival depends entirely on Natasha and Jacob. Dispatched to Singapore, the duo partners with a former Mossad agent to analyze the footage, uncovering a terrifying reality: the video is a highly sophisticated deepfake.

Proving Sammy's innocence forces the duo into a treacherous chase through Singapore, Laos, and Burma. They face a powerful coalition of narco-terrorists, Russian intelligence operatives, and billionaires, ultimately realizing they have been manipulated from the start.
