After the Lie

What is easier to live, the truth... or the lie?

Alisa Jackson is fresh out of university and newly hired as a crime scene investigator when she’s handed her first case. It’s quickly closed by the agency, but the puzzle pieces don’t fit, and Alisa knows it. Haunted by lingering questions, she defies orders and starts digging deeper, uncovering truths that were meant to stay buried.

The deeper she gets, the more dangerous it becomes. And the one person who seems to understand—Liam Ramirez, a flirty forensic investigator with secrets of his own, might be the only one who can help her.

In a system built on lies, how far will Alisa go for justice before it buries her too?

Is the “system” of criminal justice really what it seems? Alisa’s life will be in jeopardy if she continues to investigate, forcing her to make a decision. Proceed with it, and risk her professional career, being kidnapped, prosecution, or even getting herself and everyone she loves killed? Or drop the case and blend in safely with the world.
