From bestselling and award-winning author Hilary Davidson, Every Lie I Told is a propulsive, twisty thriller about the devastating consequences of the lies we tell to protect others—and ourselves.

How far would you go to protect a killer?

Jackie Swift does whatever it takes to succeed. At work, she spins lies to protect questionable clients at a shady public-relations firm. At home, she helps her younger sister, Madi, evade consequences for dangerous choices she's made about friends and drugs. But Jackie's professional and personal worlds collide one night when she gets a call from Madi telling her she overdosed. Rushing to the rescue, Jackie stumbles on an awful scene at an Upper East Side mansion. Madi is nowhere to be found, but she's left behind a dead body.

Worse for Jackie, she knows the dead man all too well: it's her former boss and mentor, and she's been paid to cover up his crimes in the past.

Jackie is willing to do anything to protect her missing sister, even as the NYPD builds a case against Madi, who may be involved in the deaths of other sexually abusive men. As Jackie searches for her sister-and sets up plausible suspects to take Madi's place in the eyes of the police-she's haunted by the terrible things she's done in service of her career. And she soon discovers there are people who've been waiting in the shadows for a chance to take her down.

"Wickedly entertaining. A riveting mix of glamour and grit, secrets and sin." 

— Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of With a Vengeance

“Hilary Davidson goes from strength to strength. Every Lie I Told is a sly, suspenseful, and satisfyingly twisty psychological thriller that kept me guessing until the last page.” 

—Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shadowheart

“Every Lie I Told delivers on the intrigue of its set up, a fun play on the traditional who-dun-it. Jackie Swift knows who killed her former boss, she just needs to use all her public relations skills to make sure the rest of the world never finds out too. Packed full of introspective prose and morally ambiguous characters that you’ll love to hate, Every Lie I Told will make you question how far you’d go to protect your family. It’s Hilary Davidson at her best.”
