A Secondhand Lie ebook

Twenty-two years ago, Dan Worthington was the obvious villain. When an armed robbery goes wrong, the evidence points to him. The witnesses swear it was him, calling him deadbeat dad. Alcoholic. Guilty.   Then his daughter is murdered in their own home.   The case goes cold and the family falls apart. And Dan's son Landon grows up knowing two things: his father is in prison, and his sister never got justice.   Now two decades later, Landon is done running from the past. He visits his incarcerated father to ask the one question he's never dared to say out loud: What really happened that night? Because the story he's been told doesn't add up. The more Landon digs, the more he realizes someone has been lying for a very long time. But the truth comes with a terrifying possibility.   What if his father didn't just go to prison for robbery? What if he got away with murder?   To save his father—or finally condemn him—Landon must untangle decades of secrets and face a truth he's most afraid to hear: His sister's killer may be closer than he ever imagined.   Note: A twisty short story mystery written as a companion book to the award-winning thriller A Secondhand Life, but can be read as a standalone.
