The Lie is a quick and compelling view of the diamond wars, told from the victim’s perspectives. It is the story of four diamond couriers who have been murdered in Philadelphia. In response, FBI agents are sent to investigate; however at the time, they have no idea that the murders in fact hide a much larger global problem – the illicit diamond trade. Together, FBI agent Howard Watson and his team of agents follow the case across America subsequently taking them to Russia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
