What if you think you killed your best friend?
What if everyone else thinks the same?
And what if nobody—including you—knows what really happened?
That’s exactly what happened to Lucy Chase. Her best friend, Savvy, was brutally murdered. Police and everyone in the town of Plampton are convinced the killer is Lucy. After all, Lucy was found nearby, covered in blood—and the blood belonged to Savvy. So the case is solved… or is it?
The problem is that Lucy herself remembers nothing, and there are no clues at the crime scene pointing to her.
The investigation stalls, and the girl simply leaves town, hoping to start a new life. But the past won’t let her go. Five years later, Ben Owens, host of the phenomenally popular true-crime podcast “Listen to the Lie,” decides to dig into the case. He realizes Lucy can’t be ignored. And now Lucy is forced to return to Plampton to help uncover the murder of Savvy—even if the killer is herself…
