In The Brick and Mortar Lie, a sharp-eyed structural inspector named Jace discovers that a new luxury skyscraper in the heart of the city has been built using dangerously substandard steel. When the project’s lead architect is found dead in a suspicious "accident" on-site, Jace is framed for the tragedy to keep him quiet. Now a fugitive from the law, Jace must team up with a gritty investigative journalist to uncover a web of city hall corruption and dirty contractors, racing to expose the building’s fatal flaws before the grand opening and before he becomes part of the skyscraper's foundation.
