On a wet road in the black of night, Karl Seabury is driving home to his pregnant wife. Suddenly, caught in his headlights in the middle of the road is a woman shaking with fright.

The woman says her name is Liz Smith, that her home was attacked, and that she was the only one to escape.

In a split-second decision, Karl decides to help her to safety. But can he really trust her? Or has he put his family in danger?

An absolutely unputdownable thriller, with twist after twist after twist, that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, John Marrs and Harlan Coben.

The Choice

The Family Lie

A letter from Jake

Hi all,

I want to say a huge thank you for choosing to read The Family Lie. If you did enjoy it, and want to keep up-to-date with all my latest releases, just sign up here. Your email address will never be shared and you can unsubscribe at any time.

You chose to buy this book, which means a lot. But most important is that you’re satisfied with it. I hope no parts bored you, confused you except where necessary, or made you skip pages. No novel is to everyone’s taste, so to those who enjoyed this one: thank you. To those who didn’t: I’ll get you next time.

My intention with this story was to stay with the characters at all times, because I felt that skipping a few hours here and there might reset the pace or erode tension. Because of that, I found this novel surprisingly comfortable to write; the constant attachment to poor Anna and Nick, riding right along with them, meant little need for notes or flicking through pages to remember a name or date or some other detail. At the end, I was actually disappointed that there was no more story to tell. I might have to be cruel and snatch little Josie away as a teenager, just to be selfish.

Since I’m no John Grisham, I have the time to read every review this book sparks. If you have the time, please leave one at Amazon or Goodreads, or on your own blog, website or social media page. If the review is bad, I suggest taking the time to word it correctly. A couple of years should do it.

Thanks

Jake
