Duplicity

Slick, tall, fine and living life fast, Will Creech disappears without a clue. His sister Clarissa tracks down their reclusive brother Clinton in Kenya, Africa and pleads with him to find Will before their mother Bernice loses her mind. Reluctant to re-enter society, Clinton, a former FBI agent, picks up Will’s trail in Morocco where he also finds a beautiful villain named Saa’iqa Mastoora, and much more than he bargained for. She is rich, smart, ruthless and apparently heartless . . . or is she?

DUPLICITY is well written and profoundly entertaining. Toni Lee's characters are real, earthy and so exciting you forget that you're reading a book. The story moves with the force of an earthquake that registers 7.5 on the richter scale. There is no doubt that Ms Lee is a Storyteller.

A Mother's Love

Nestled in the bosom of a mother's love and mystical embrace, this well written, fast paced story of suspense and intrigue propels you from the clutches of middle class Black political society via the Black Caucus Dinner in Washington, DC to the exotic embrace of foreign espionage.

Through a staccato-like barrage of exciting and unanticipated adventures, the characters of Duplicity crisscross the continent of Africa. Each adventure builds on the previous one and leaves the reader breathlessly anticipating the next. Sex, violence, love, family and humor are all artfully woven into the fabric of this story. You may ask "does Toni Lee have something for everyone?" My response is that Ms. Lee has provided something for all ages and we are the willing and grateful beneficiaries of her incredible literary prowess.

Internal Workings Come Alive

From the opening scene of Duplicity the reader is immediately drawn into the action, and the story continues to move quickly from there. Yet within the fast paced plot, Lee uses her characters to deal with deep philosophical issues. In Duplicity each character wrestles with their own internal contradictions.
