The Lies That Bind Us (John Keegan Mystery Book 7)

Description

In The Lies That Bind Us, Detective John Keegan finds himself plunged into a case that’s far more than just another murder investigation. When New York City’s mayor is found brutally murdered, the evidence seems straightforward—until it leads John to a web of lies that hit disturbingly close to home.

The story unfolds through a dual narrative, alternating between John’s methodical, often cynical approach and his wife Pauline’s deeply personal, undercover mission. As both dig deeper into the case, their parallel investigations begin to intersect, revealing secrets they’ve kept not only from each other but also from themselves.

John’s search for the truth forces him to question everything he knows about the people closest to him, while Pauline navigates the dangerous waters of betrayal, both within her own ranks and in her personal life. The lies they’ve told each other—small, white lies meant to keep the peace—begin to unravel, leaving them to face the devastating consequences of the truths they’ve avoided for so long.

In The Lies That Bind Us, the boundaries between love, duty, and deception blur, creating a mystery that is as much about the secrets we keep to survive as it is about solving a murder. It’s a story where the stakes are not just professional but intensely personal, challenging John and Pauline to decide what’s more important: the lies that bind them together or the truth that could tear them apart.
