The Liar
A detective who knows when people are lying – the only problem is proving it.
Linden Chambers solves cases the wrong way.
While his partner painstakingly follows evidence, witness statements and procedure, Linden relies on a secret ability that tells him – instantly and painfully – when someone is lying.
Most of the time, it's enough.
Then Adele becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of her parents.
The evidence points in one direction.
Linden's power points in another.
His partner, Jo, is convinced Adele is guilty. Linden knows she's innocent. Every instinct, every painful certainty, tells him so.
There's just one problem.
He can't explain why.
As the investigation stalls and tensions rise, Linden faces an impossible choice: reveal the secret he's hidden for years to the one person whose opinion matters most – or stay silent and risk letting a murderer walk free.
Because knowing the truth is one thing.
Convincing someone else is another.
