Official synopsis Publisher
“An outstanding debut–confident, compelling, with a surprise around every corner.”–Jane Harper, New York Times bestselling author
With chilling twists, a morally complex lead, and a setting thick with secrets, this is true crime fiction for readers who crave ethical tension and endings that cut deep. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and Making a Murderer–because in this game, the story lies, the truth hides, and everyone plays dirty.
Jack Quick built his reputation on exposing the truth. His true crime docuseries shattered a broken justice system, gripped millions, and helped free a man convicted of murder. The headlines called it justice. The ratings called it a triumph. Jack called it storytelling.
But when another body turns up, everything unravels.
To find the truth, and his own redemption, Jack returns to the small vineyard town he made infamous. But revisiting the past means confronting a suspected killer and facing the darker possibility that he was never the hero of this story. The deeper he digs, the more tangled the truth becomes. And some stories, once told, can’t be undone.
Gripping, morally layered, and razor-sharp, Trust Me When I Lie unspools a haunting mystery through the eyes of a man who manipulates truth for a living–and may have destroyed lives doing it.
