What do we know about lying? That one lie often begets others. That lies find a way of escaping their boundaries. And that knowledge of a lie can give you power over the liar. DCI Julia Day is leading the investigation into the case of a young woman who\u2019s gone missing. A brilliant detective, Julia is slightly suspicious of this case\u2014the pieces don\u2019t quite fit together\u2014when she\u2019s carjacked and forced to agree to lie about the alleged perpetrator. Except the story hardly ends there. As the investigation unravels, more cold cases come alive and more lies are exposed.
