Every Lie I Told, by Hilary Davidson

I’m looking forward to helping New York-based Canadian author Hilary Davidson welcome her latest novel into the world this Thursday June 25 at Ben McNally Books here in Toronto at 5pm. I’ll have the pleasure of interviewing Hilary about this latest twisty (and twisted!) thriller, a deep dive into the PR industry and all its depravities. The story begins with PR star Jackie Swift receiving a call from her troubled sister late one night—she’s at Jackie’s former boss’s house and requires Naloxone. But when Jackie arrives at the house, her sister is nowhere to be found, and her boss—a man who’s caused a lot of harm but to whom Jackie owes deliverance from her hardscrabble background—is dead. Who killed him? Where is Jackie’s sister? For once in her professional life, Jackie is not in control of the narrative at all, and needs to confront ruthless choices she’s made in her own past if she has any hope of saving her sister, and herself. This one is an absolutely wild ride.
