"My favorite kind of thriller: edgy, intriguing and twisty."--Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author
Would I Lie to You? is a thrilling spy-next-door story that may have you cheering for all the wrong people, perfect for fans of Finlay Donovan and Killers of a Certain Age.
What if a covert, high-stakes cat burglar is given one last job before she can retire, but the gig is to steal the classified code to an innovative genetic editing tool her unaware husband is developing?
Ask anyone about Lucille "Lu" Barlow and they'll tell you that she's a loving wife and mom, fire-body Pilates studio owner, and kind neighbor. But none of them know the true Lu. Because Lu is a liar and a thief--albeit reluctantly lately. She's been part of a dangerous, deeply covert crime syndicate for the last thirty years, with a string of incredible, international heists under her belt and a shoebox full of fake passports, weapons, cash stacks, and skeletons.
But when her unsuspecting husband, Harry, accepts a lucrative job at the nation's leading biotech company, it means moving the family from her familiar Brooklyn base to the well-heeled New England town of Partridge Hollow. Lu sees it as her shot to finally retire from crime life, something she's wanted since her son's birth eight years ago. But Partridge Hollow isn't what it seems either. Lu quickly discovers that her new Stepford Wives-esque neighbors each have their own secrets hidden inside their mansions, into which she occasionally creeps.
She also uncovers the most scandalous truth of all: that this move for her husband's career was orchestrated by her illicit employer. Worse, she's tasked with stealing the heavily protected code for a tool Harry is developing.
