Bestselling and award-winning author David Ellis delivers a fast-paced, twisty thriller that will surprise readers at every turn.
Leo Balanoff is a diagnosed pathological liar with unthinkable skeletons in his family's closet. He's also a crusading attorney who seeks justice at all costs. When a ruthless drug dealer is found dead and Leo’s fingerprints show up on the murder weapon, no one believes a word he says. But he might be the FBI’s only shot at taking down the dealer’s brutal syndicate.
Risk his life going undercover for the feds or head straight to prison for murder? Leo accepts the FBI’s offer—but it comes with a price, including a collision course with his ex, Andi Piotrowski, a former cop and “the one who got away.” Forced to walk a tightrope between an ambitious FBI agent and a cruel, calculating crime boss, Leo’s trapped in a corner. But he has more secrets than anyone realizes, and a few more cards left to play …

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Woo hoo! Am I happy to have found this author. I loved Look Closer, and now this one!!! If you need a super fun, sometimes snarky, thriller with more plot twists than a pretzel, this one is the one! Completely entertaining with very likable characters and some not so much.

Nothing is worse than being promised a thriller where you can guess so much. At least I know with these books I‘m gonna be surprised and blown away!

EverydayImReading @BookMaven9 Great review. I‘m sold. I too love a smart twisty plot and really enjoyed Look closer. 3w
