The Liar's Lullaby

Tasia McFarland is a washed-up singer desperate to get back to the top of the charts. As her star begins to rise again, the tabloids uncover the fact that Tasia is the ex-wife of the US president - which is one reason the world takes notice when she is killed by a bullet to the neck in front of a crowd of fans. Suicide is suspected, but when the ballistics report comes up empty, the authorities call on Jo Beckett to do a psychological autopsy.

As Jo sifts through the facts, she only finds more questions. Poring over Tasia’s past quickly becomes a race to extinguish the conspiracy rumour-mill before it incites a level of violence that reaches America’s highest corridors of power.
