THREE LIES

Three people saw Claire Harlow during the final seventy-two hours before she disappeared. All three say they didn't. All three are lying.

Claire's car is found above the Oregon coast. Her phone is inside. Her shoes are near the water. Everything points toward a woman who chose to disappear, or never meant to come back.

Avery Soren isn't convinced.

A former law-enforcement analyst, Avery specializes in reconstructing the final seventy-two hours before someone vanishes. Claire's timeline leads her to three frightened people, each hiding the truth about their last encounter with her.

But their lies aren't protecting Claire.

They're protecting themselves.

All three have something else in common: Second Harbor, the nonprofit Claire ran to help people escape stalking, abuse, and dangerous pasts. And someone has learned how to turn the fragments meant to keep them safe into a map for finding them.

As Avery separates what the evidence proves from the story everyone has built around it, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

What if the evidence isn't wrong, only arranged to make everyone believe the wrong thing?

THREE LIES is the first Avery Soren novel, an atmospheric investigative crime thriller about disappearances, hidden identities, and the dangerous gap between evidence and truth.
