"Riveting." — The New York Times Book Review

The acclaimed author of The Nanny and What
She Knew—hailed by stalwarts including Ruth Ware, Liane Moriarty, Tess Gerritsen, and Shari Lapena—returns with another serpentine
thriller that cleverly blends atmosphere, tarnished memories, mystery, and
twisty secrets from the past into a potent, intense read that will leave you
questioning everything you believe.

To tell you the truth . . . everybody lies.

Lucy
Harper’s talent for writing bestselling novels has given her fame,
fortune and millions of fans.  It’s also given her Dan, her needy, jealous
husband whose own writing career has gone precisely nowhere.

Now
Dan has vanished. But this isn’t the first time that someone has
disappeared from Lucy’s life. Three decades ago, her little brother Teddy
also went missing and was never found. Lucy, the only witness, helplessly
spun fantasy after fantasy about Teddy’s disappearance, to the detectives’
fury and her parents’ despair. That was the start of her ability to tell a
story—a talent she has profited from greatly. 

But
now Lucy’s a grown woman who can’t hide behind fiction any longer. The world is
watching, and her whole life is under intense scrutiny. A life full of
stories, some more believable than others. Could she have hurt Teddy?  Did
she kill Dan?  Finally, now, Lucy Harper’s going to tell the truth.

Cross
her heart.

And
hope to die.

"Spellbinding . . . Bold, suspenseful,
and impossible to put down. This one will stay with me for a long
time." — Samantha Downing, #1 internationally bestselling author
of My Lovely Wife
