    About The Devil's Deed

    Amblin & Lester is the largest military contractor in the Southeast. It also has a secret: one so deadly it could get tens of thousands of people killed. When Jessica Wilker accidentally overhears this secret, she knows it is up to her to let the world know. But she doesn't fully understand just how deep the rabbit hole goes, or the lengths the heads of Amblin & Lester will go to keep it quiet. With lives on the line, including her own, Jessica finds help from some surprising allies.

    William Lester is in trouble. He is the president and CEO of Amblin & Lester, the largest military contractor in the Southeast. He's also about to be voted out as CEO in favor of his longtime partner, Joseph Amblin. Not willing to give up control, Lester comes up with a plan that will out his partner while helping in tightening his grip on the company. He needs some help carrying out his plans. Jessica Wilker, a young mid-twenties employee, just so happens to be the perfect candidate. She just doesn't know it.
