A murdered man. A terrified girl. A small-town cop with everything to prove.
When Police Chief Maggie Riley finds a body on a stormy night, she knows the shivering teenage girl nearby must have seen something. But the girl won’t talk—and Maggie’s gut tells her there’s more to this story than anyone is admitting.
Once a big-city detective, Maggie lost everything when her younger brother vanished. The trauma drove her to a quiet job in Coyote Cove, a remote Maine town tucked deep in the woods. Now, the gruesome murder drags her back into a world she tried to leave behind.
Heather, a high school dropout, emerges from the forest at the scene—clearly frightened, clearly hiding something. Maggie pushes for answers, but everyone in town seems determined to shut her down. Even her own deputy won’t back her up.
When a shocking kidnapping turns the case upside down, Maggie must face the truth: she’s not just chasing a killer—she’s racing against time to stop them from striking again. Haunted by the past and desperate to protect the innocent, Maggie is ready to risk everything.
But will that be enough to outsmart the most twisted killer she’s ever faced?
Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Louise Penny, and Melinda Leigh, The Girl Who Lied is a tense, emotional crime thriller you won’t be able to put down.
