Summary

THE NEWEST THRILLER IN THE DS ADAM TYLER SERIES, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FIREWATCHING

'Clever and ingenious, I was gripped’ SAM HOLLAND
‘One of the best detective novels I’ve read in a long time . . . Russ Thomas is an exceptional talent’ LESLEY KARA
_____________________________

THE LIES OF THE PAST . . .

When an anonymous tip lands on his desk, DS Adam Tyler is intrigued in spite of himself. The disappearance of a young mother twenty-four years ago was big news, but the case was never solved – this tantalizing new lead is something he simply can’t ignore. But the letter has set in motion a dangerous chain of events, and Tyler’s search for the truth soon leaves him fighting for his life.

. . . LIVE IN THE PRESENT

With Tyler out of action, DC Mina Rabbani must step up to lead the Cold Case Review Unit in his absence, retracing Tyler’s steps and uncovering his secrets to figure out what he was working on. But as she begins to put the pieces together, the case starts to hit frighteningly close to home. Without DS Tyler to protect her, Mina realizes that now she’s the one with hard choices to make.

And this time she’s on her own.

‘From the first page to the last the only things sleeping around here were the dogs! This is everything I want from a thriller – tense, devious, and deliciously wicked’ NICK CURRAN
‘One of the best police procedural series in recent years . . . Addictive, immersive, and an absolute must for any crime fiction fans’ ROBERT RUTHERFORD
‘Another cracking and compulsive thriller from Russ Thomas . . . Guaranteed to delight’ HEATHER CRITCHLOW
‘At last, a police procedural with real emotional depth, a heart rending plot that hooks from the first page and, in Tyler and Mina, a very charismatic cast’ CARO RAMSAY
‘For anyone who loves to binge a series, here’s your next obsession . . . Thomas goes from strength to strength!’ JO FURNISS
‘A confident thriller with beautifully drawn characters and a blindingly executed twist that won’t disappoint’ TIM SULLIVAN

‘Cleverly structured . . . and contains a stunning twist that even the most attentive reader is unlikely to see coming’ THE TIMES
‘Gripping’ CRIME MONTHLY

excellent!

I found this book to be utterly brilliant, every page keeping the reader in the middle of the story and with each page turned drawing the reader further into the web of the story.
I actually couldn't put the book down and I was finished from start to end within a few days.
The narrator gave each character body and is an excellent story teller. I highly recommend. Very much enjoyed.

Compelling. Page turning. Funny

This series has me enthralled. Love the characters, their storylines, brilliant narration! I just re reread the first three before this latest. And these last two had some laugh out loud moments. Love them.
