About this ebook

'A razor-sharp thriller that explores the terrifying realities of obsession and the lengths we go to to protect those we love. Compulsive and twisty' Fiona Cummins

'You're trying to play a game with me. So is someone else.

But me? I'm not playing. I'm not saying nothing more.'

THE TRUTH DOESN'T ALWAYS SET YOU FREE

Nicole is a rising star in the courtroom - sharp, ambitious, and determined to outrun the shadow of her criminal family. Her latest case could make her career: prosecuting the infamous serial killer known as The Tattooist. It's a tough challenge, but Nicole is confident she can secure a conviction.

Everything changes when Nicole discovers evidence that suggests the defendant may have been set up. Then a body is found followed by a threatening message: unless she secures a conviction of the man on trial, the killer will strike again. And this time, it's her family on the line.

Torn between her loyalty to her family and desire for justice, Nicole is left with no choice but to hunt down the killer before the jury reach a verdict.

Taut, twisty, darkly witty, and razor-sharp, Lie For Your Life is a gripping exploration of true crime obsession, the lies we tell and what we're willing to sacrifice to protect the people we love.
