A MUDDY BOOT. A DEAD HUSBAND. A NIGHTMARE THAT WON'T END.
Claire knows she killed her husband.
Not with a gun or a knife, but with five cruel words spoken in a kitchen doorway. Everyone calls it a suicide, but Claire knows the truth. Her penance is silence, solitude, and the heavy weight of the secret she keeps.
Until the morning the boot appears.
It’s sitting center-stage on her porch. Muddy. Worn. Pointed at the door.
It is identical to the one David was wearing the night he died.
The same boot Claire buried in a sealed bin three years ago.
Suddenly, Claire's quiet mourning is shattered.
A cold new neighbor is watching her house with military precision and high-tech gear. A photograph arrives in the mail, revealing a side of David she never knew existed. And her teenage daughter—her only remaining ally'''is watching her with a calm detachment that chills Claire to the bone, gently suggesting that maybe Mommy needs her medication again.
Is Claire hallucinating? Is she being haunted? Or was her husband not the victim she remembers, but a monster who left a trail of destruction behind him?
As Claire claws through the lies to find the truth, she realizes the boot was just the opening move. Someone is playing a game with her life.
And the person holding the strings knows exactly where she is most vulnerable.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, The Push, and Shari Lapena, Crash of Lies is the pulse-pounding start to the The Lies We Keep trilogy. It is a story about the secrets we keep, the families we break, and the children we raise in the dark.
Genre: Mystery
