The Lies We Tell

A serial killer is coming for Doctor Rowan Dupont, and she knows it. Julian Addington has been watching and waiting, sure that he holds the advantage. He is wrong: Rowan is prepared, and she wants something from him before he gets to her.

Her concern is her mother, who took her own life years ago. Rowan wants to learn how well Julian knew her, and how many lies have piled up around that death since. She means to settle the matter for good, even if the answers expose a past her family has kept buried.

She works with her childhood friend Billy Brannigan, now the Police Chief. The Dupont family's Victorian funeral home looks to have witnessed more than one dark secret, and a recent double homicide leads investigators to a grimmer find still.

This thriller continues the danger from the earlier book, The Secrets We Bury. Rowan has to separate truth from lies while a killer closes in, and the search may cost her more than she expects.
