Crime & Mystery

Meet intuitive & charming sleuth T. R. Softly, who must solve the case of a secret agency threatening to topple both the mafia & the US government-perfect for fans of Chris Hauty, David Baldacci, and Joseph Finder.

A federal plea deal in Manhattan goes off the rails when a mob boss inexplicably recants his testimony days after voluntarily confessing to a lifetime of crime, and immediately, an FBI agent involved with the case goes missing. To find out what happened, the Feds call in T. R. Softly, detective fiction's newest and most intuitive sleuth. Softly's search takes him to Washington, D.C., where the ""oddest of the forty-odd presidents of the United States"" is suddenly laying plans to evaporate the U.S. government, as assassination rumors percolate in dark corners. Co-opted into partnering with a secret government agency, Softly struggles to understand how many games are being played and by whom. Is he master of his fate or has he been the unwitting agent of friends and foe? A twisting, rollicking tale that enthralls readers until the last page.

Reviews for Everything Is Jake: A T. R. Softly Detective Novel: A Novel

Everything is Jake brilliantly immerses the reader in a suspenseful ride from beginning to end. It is a smart and entertaining read, and the perfect novel for our times, pointing to even more difficult civil liberties issues than we've yet experienced, in a future just being born. This is exactly the novel I would expect of Jethro Lieberman - an exceptional legal scholar and a masterful writer. - Deborah Archer, president, American Civil Liberties Union Everything is Jake is everything a great thriller is supposed to be: complex, ambitious, and chock full of surprises. Jethro K. Lieberman has fashioned a truly terrifying tale that picks up where the January 6 attack on the Capitol Building leaves off. His quirky hero, T. R. Softly (who is anything but soft), is a rare and refreshing new voice in the genre, as driven as he is determined. Everything is Jake informs as it entertains, grabbing us in its vise-like grip and not letting go until the very last page is turned. -Jon Land, USA Today Bestselling Author, Murder on the Metro An exuberant tale, wrapped in good-natured humor, and has something for almost any taste: missing persons, courtroom drama, coming of age, unbalanced politicians, romantic edges, even a dose of neuroscience, with a theatrical explosion in the White House that may seem wholly fanciful and yet eerily familiar, all in pursuit of secret agents working - literally - in the 'deep state.' -Sandor Frankel, author, The Accidental Philanthropist This whodunit of a palimpsest will overwrite your brain leaving a remnant buzz of pleasure and delight. -Stephen Spotte, author, Animal Wrongs: A Novel What fun! Everything Is Jake is built around an ingenious conceit and keeps readers on their toes with a genre-hopping style that goes from legal drama to juvenile detective to adult detective to political thriller to romantic comedy while lacing the whole thing with doses of political satire. . . . Satisfying and sweetly amusing. -Richard Patterson, director, The Marx Brothers in a Nutshell
