Tell No Lies

Jack Hilliard is a prosecutor in St. Louis with a sharp mind, a job he believes in and a steady marriage to his wife, Claire. On the night his boss announces he is stepping down as District Attorney, Jack's long flirtation with Jenny, a lawyer he counts as a friend, finally breaks into the open.

The vacancy tempts him as much as she does. Claire urges him to hold to his convictions, yet Jack misstates where he stands on the death penalty so that he can win the top post in the office.

As the campaign tightens its hold on his days, his fixation on Jenny grows, and he cannot shake it. She backs his ambitions whatever they cost. Each compromise comes more easily than the last, and the life he has built starts to look fragile.

Then a murder shocks the city, and Jenny becomes the main suspect. Jack alone can clear her. Doing so means speaking out, and speaking out puts his marriage and his candidacy at risk. Staying silent protects both but leaves her to face the charge.

The legal drama carries a thriller's tension and a heated affair, all seen through a man whose good intentions keep giving way. Whether Jack speaks or stays quiet, someone he cares about pays for it.
