LONDON/NYC, NY, September 24, 2025 — In his electrifying new book, Paper Trail, author Lyndon Haynes invites readers to step into the world of The Griffin Pub, a noisy, sticky watering hole where the ordinary veneer of a Friday night masks a labyrinth of secrets waiting to be unearthed.
At the center of the drama are siblings Dwayne and Cindy Harper — two lives bound together by more than blood. Cindy seems to have it all — a promising career, a loving brother, a tight-knit group of friends. But behind her polished exterior, a storm is brewing, and one night, outside The Griffin Pub, her carefully constructed world explodes. Bloodied and bruised, and clutching a mysterious bag of money, she collides with Barry Evans, an unsuspecting post office worker fresh from the pub whose ordinary life is about to be upended.
As events spiral, Barry, the unlikely witness, and Dwayne, the brother wrestling with his own troubled past, find themselves drawn into a world where trust is scarce, danger lurks behind every smile, and some secrets are worth killing for.
With taut pacing and unforgettable characters, Haynes delivers a novel that is as emotionally rich as it is suspenseful. Paper Trail is more than a thriller — it’s a razor-sharp exploration of loyalty, community and the human spirit under fire.
“Paper Trail challenges readers to think about the choices we make, the bonds we protect and the truths we hide,” said Haynes. “It’s about how easily the ordinary can become extraordinary — and deadly — when secrets surface.”
