The Lies We Whisper - Hardcover

by Sophia Zane (Author)

A deadly game of truth and deception.

A woman haunted by the past.

A killer who knows too much.

Criminal psychologist Hanna Nowack has made a career out of understanding the minds of violent offenders. But when she's assigned to evaluate Richard Hale-a manipulative, cold-blooded serial killer-she walks into something far more personal than she ever expected.

From their first session at Great Meadow Correctional Facility, it's clear Richard is unlike any patient Hanna has encountered. He's calculating, unflinching, and disturbingly informed. He seems to know things he shouldn't: the long-buried secrets surrounding Hanna's family, the mysterious circumstances of her husband's death, and the emotional fault lines she's kept hidden from everyone.

As Hanna struggles to maintain control, Richard's cryptic revelations begin to chip away at the life she's carefully rebuilt. The sessions grow darker. The threats more real. And someone, maybe someone closer, is watching her every move.

Someone is pulling strings.

Someone wants her to stop asking questions.

And someone will do anything to keep the truth buried.

To protect her daughter and the people she loves, Hanna must confront the trauma she's spent a decade trying to forget. But the deeper she digs, the more danger she uncovers-and the more she risks unraveling everything, including herself.

Taut, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant, The Lies We Whisper is a slow-burn psychological thriller that explores the cost of secrets, the weight of grief, and the power of reclaiming your voice-even when the past refuses to stay dead.
