Description
In this thrilling novel from a New York Times bestselling author, an attorney and mother of two discovers her husband's secret life—and it might cost them all their lives.
Everyone in Hemingway Grove, Illinois, knows David and Marcie Bowers.
David owns the local pub. Marcie is a former big-city lawyer who practices family law.
When David jumps into Cotton River to save a drowning stranger, he's celebrated as a hero. His muscled physique, shaved head, and piercing blue eyes are broadcast on every news outlet.
For most people, newfound fame is a lifeline. For David Bowers, it's a death sentence. For Marcie Bowers, it's a test.
A wife knows the difference between a loving husband and father and a cold-blooded assassin. Right?
"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
