In the shadows of 1920s New York, where power is bought with secrets and alliances crumble overnight, Evie Lockhart is no stranger to danger. A former reporter haunted by her father’s death and the unsolved mysteries left behind, she’s spent years learning the city’s hidden language—backroom deals, forged ledgers, and the names whispered only in confidence. When a break in a decades-old conspiracy points straight to the heart of Tammany Hall, Evie risks everything to unravel a plot that could shake the foundations of American politics. As winter gives way to a year of turmoil, Evie navigates a world where trust is a liability and every answer breeds a new question. Her investigation draws her into the orbit of Julian Ashcroft, a charming and ruthless political fixer whose reach extends from city hall to the docks and beyond. With each new clue—murdered witnesses, missing ledgers, betrayals close to home—Evie finds herself matching wits with a man who always seems one step ahead, and whose ambitions may cost her everything she holds dear. Brimming with intrigue, historical detail, and a heroine who refuses to be silenced, "Lies Well Told" captures the grit and glamour of Jazz Age New York at its breaking point. For readers who crave a mystery where every page holds its own secrets and the truth is never simple, this is a story that will stay with you long after the final chapter. Step into Evie’s world—and discover just how far one woman will go when the city turns against her.
