The Liar: A Spellbinding Psychological Thriller with a Shocking Twist

THE LIAR

by Dorothy Alter

Frank has built a life most people would envy. A successful wine merchant, he lives in quiet luxury on the sun-soaked island of Malta with Suzanne, the woman he loves. She wants to start a family, but Frank resists - haunted by the fear of passing on the bipolar disorder that runs in the family.

What he doesn't tell her is that he is hiding something else.

In London, far from the life he shares with Suzanne, Frank has been seeing another woman. Ruth was never meant to matter. The affair was a mistake, and he ended it weeks ago. But Ruth has her own plans. She's angry. She's unpredictable. And she's ready to tell Suzanne everything.

When the calls start, Frank tries to keep control. He says he can manage it. That nothing will reach Suzanne. But the pressure is building. His lies are stacking up. And the future he's worked so hard to protect is suddenly at risk.

Suzanne senses the shift - he's distant, secretive, no longer the man she thought she knew. And as Frank scrambles to hold his life together, the consequences of one reckless decision begin to close in.

Because the lie isn't small.

It's everything.
