Every Lie I Told

From bestselling and award-winning author Hilary Davidson, Every Lie I Told is a propulsive, twisty thriller about the devastating consequences of the lies we tell to protect others—and ourselves.

How far would you go to protect a killer?

Jackie Swift does whatever it takes to succeed. At work, she spins lies to protect questionable clients at a shady public relations firm. At home, she helps her younger sister, Madi, evade the consequences of dangerous choices involving friends and drugs.

But Jackie’s professional and personal worlds collide when she receives a call from Madi claiming she has overdosed. Racing to help, Jackie arrives at an Upper East Side mansion and finds a horrifying scene. Madi is gone, but she has left behind a dead body.

Even worse, Jackie knows the victim all too well. He was her former boss and mentor, and she was once paid to help conceal his crimes.

Determined to protect her missing sister, Jackie will do whatever it takes—even as the NYPD builds a case against Madi, who may be connected to the deaths of other sexually abusive men. As Jackie searches for answers and manipulates the investigation toward other suspects, she is forced to confront the terrible choices she has made in service of her career.

Soon, she discovers that there are people who have been waiting in the shadows for the perfect opportunity to bring her down.
