A grieving father. A dying man on the run. A lie that could bury them all.

Weeks after his wife Nicole's brutal murder, Ozzie Novak is barely holding his daughters — and himself — together.

To hunt the man who killed her, he strikes a devil's bargain with the Giordano crime family. Now a vengeful Romanian enforcer has his daughters in the crosshairs, and Nora Kreshnik wants him to pull a trigger that will detonate his entire life.

Across town, Alex Troutt takes what looks like a routine missing-persons case. A teenage boy. A vanished father. A trip to San Antonio that never ended.

But Malcolm didn't disappear. He ran. He knows where Marzio Giordano buries the money, and a stage-four diagnosis means he has nothing left to lose.

The FBI wants him wearing a wire. The mob wants him in a grave. His son just wants him home.

As Alex's investigation collides with her brother's shadow war, the lies stack faster than either of them can knock down — until one wrong move could cost a father his son, a brother his sister, and two little girls everything.

Some lies you tell to survive. Some lies bury you.

A DEAD LIE is Book 7 in the explosive Alex & Ozzie, Dark Horizon series. If you love Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, and pulse-pounding family-in-the-crosshairs thrillers — buckle up. The clock is ticking.
