The Girl Who Lied: An utterly gripping thriller with twists and turns to die for (Chief Maggie Riley Book 1)

When Chief Maggie Riley discovers a murdered man by the roadside during a storm, she is drawn back into the kind of investigation she thought she had left behind. Once a big-city detective, Maggie now leads the underfunded police force in Coyote Cove, a remote Maine logging town. Her brother’s disappearance changed her life, and she has never stopped looking for him.

Nearby, Heather, a teenage high-school dropout, emerges from the forest, frightened and unwilling to explain what she knows. Maggie suspects the girl is hiding something, but with even her deputy working against her, the truth remains elusive. Then a kidnapping overturns Maggie’s understanding of the case. Determined to make amends for the past and save another innocent life, she must confront a killer who may be closer to the truth than she is.
