He's Lying About Everything
Evelyn thought her life was perfect-eight years of marriage, a son she adores, and a beautiful home. But when police knock on her door at dawn with news of a young woman's death, her picture-perfect world begins to crumble. The victim isn't a stranger-it's her husband's secret lover.
As Evelyn struggles to untangle the lies in her marriage, she realizes the affair she thought was buried never truly ended. And the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because her husband isn't just hiding infidelity... he may be hiding murder.
