'A thriller you won't want to miss!' says No.1 bestselling author of The Housemaid, Freida McFadden. In this gripping standalone novel from James Patterson, a woman facing mounting threats against her family must uncover the truth about her husband's mysterious past before it's too late.

Wow! Lies He Told Me is a roller coaster from start to finish! I was hooked from the first page, and the final twist blew me away! This is a thriller you won't want to miss! - FREIDA McFADDEN, #1 bestselling author of The Housemaid

An attorney and mother of two discovers her husband has a secret life - and it might cost them all their lives. Everyone in the small town of Hemingway Grove knows David and Marcie Bowers. David owns the local pub. Marcie is a former big-city lawyer who practises family law.

When David jumps into Cotton River to save a drowning stranger, he's celebrated as a hero and his daring actions are broadcast on every news outlet. For most people, newfound fame is a lifeline. For David, it's a death sentence. For Marcie, it's a test. A wife knows the difference between a loving family man and a cold-blooded assassin, right?
