The Last Lie She Told
(2018)(The first book in the Lies and Misdirection series)
A novel by K J McGillick
When seduction is a weapon and truth is a trap, only the ruthless survive.
She’s brilliant. She’s beautiful. She’s a sociopath.
Fiona O’Dell doesn’t just ruin lives—she makes men destroy themselves. A master manipulator, she moves like a shadow through the world, pulling powerful men into her web and pushing them to betray, steal, and kill for her amusement. From elite sex clubs to the boardrooms of billion-dollar biotech empires, Fiona leaves chaos, ruin, and bodies behind. When a stolen scientific breakthrough worth billions vanishes, she’s the prime suspect—but no one knows where she’s gone… or who will fall next.
Former FBI agent Jackson Stone is hired to hunt her down. But the one person standing between him and disaster isn’t his team—it’s Aunt Mary, his 80-year-old, pistol-packing, tech-savvy partner. Sharp, spry, and always underestimated, Mary is the last person Fiona sees coming—and the only one who might outplay her.
What begins as a search for a missing asset spirals into a nightmare of murder, betrayal, and financial sabotage. Every lead draws Jackson and Mary deeper into Fiona’s deadly game, where desire turns fatal, and survival is the only victory.
From Seattle to Los Angeles to New York, the chase cuts through dark secrets, hidden agendas, and lethal seduction in a high-stakes battle for corporate power and justice.
Perfect for fans of Daniel Silva’s The Black Widow, Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Karin Slaughter’s Pretty Girls, and Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer, this relentless psychological and crime thriller delivers deadly seduction, corporate espionage, and high-stakes murder in a cat-and-mouse game where only the clever survive.
