TRUTHFUL LIES: Family dysfunction turns deadly in this riveting thriller! The Chedwell Estate – Blessinghurst Manor–with its sprawling grounds and sumptuous Tudor architecture, appears to be a tranquil palace tucked away in the English countryside. But after their father’s death and their mother’s debilitating stroke, siblings Roberto and Stella are fighting over the family heirlooms. They agree to enlist a curator–Mikky dos Santos. When Roberto promises Mikky a reward if she neglects to account for certain high-end items, she learns that Roberto had dirty dealings with the mafia and they once had a price on his head. And as Mikky tries to piece together this puzzle of deception, illicit sex, and thinly-veiled threats, she can’t tell anymore which lies are “truthful” and what’s just dead wrong. But she’d better hurry—these people are lethal.

Mikky, devastated by shocking events, is determined to find the dagger and flush out the cult-leaders and hold them all to account–even if it means risking her own life.
