Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient
wakes to find two strangers by his bed.
They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question.
Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a
fall which generates some unexpected attention.
That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an
inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted
from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a
result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.
Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office
politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to
identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back
23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.
Will Reacher bring the bad guys to
justice the official way . . . or his way?

On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent
Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he
can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And how could they
possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?

She could be anyone. She could be you.

out of control, a shattering revelation from one of the guests forces
Willa to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past. And,
out of the debris of that explosive evening, the truth of what really
happened begins to emerge. Piece by piece.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight comes
a twisted con-woman thriller about two women out for revenge-or is
it justice? Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie
Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person,
depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who
erases herself to become whoever you need her to be-a college
student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is
real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need
to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.
Kat Roberts has been waiting ten years for the woman who upended
her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is determined to be
the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's
long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who
Meg's true target is. The Lies I Tell is a twisted domestic
thriller that dives deep into the psyches and motivations of two
women and their unwavering quest to seek justice for the past and
rewrite the future. Praise for The Last Flight by Julie Clark:
"Thoroughly absorbing...the characters get under your skin." -The
New York Times "Highly thrilling." -Entertainment Weekly "You won't
be able to put it down." -People.com
