A Gripping Outback Noir
She Lied First
An explosive, atmospheric thriller following Detective Kate Gazzo as a web of deceit, long-buried secrets, and missing lives unravels in a tight-knit Australian town.
Dinuka McKenzie delivers a masterclass in suspense, pitting law against loyalty as cold cases collide with dangerous present-day betrayals. Fast-paced and richly layered, She Lied First is a razor-sharp crime novel that explores how far people will go to protect the ones they love—and the lethal consequences when the truth finally surfaces.
