Synopsis

"Another winner from a top-tier thriller writer." --Kirkus Reviews
Daniel Brasher left a high-paying job as a money manager to marry his community-organizer wife and do the work he loves, leading group counseling sessions with recently paroled ex-cons. Now he's about to start a private practice. But just before his last day on the job, Daniel finds an envelope in his department mailbox--one intended for someone else that was placed in his slot by accident. Inside it is an unsigned piece of paper, a note that says only "admit what you've done or you will bleed for it." along with a midnight deadline...which has passed. And the person to whom the envelope was addressed was found brutally murdered...

"A fast-paced roller coaster ride...well-written and extremely realistic." --Criminal Element
Soon, Daniel finds more warnings in his office mail, to people that the police cannot track down, and to victims that cannot be saved. Daniel's efforts, however, have alerted the killer to his involvement... and the next threat he receives is his own. Now, Daniel--with no clue what he's supposed to have done or to what action he must confess--must somehow appease, or outwit, a seemingly unstoppable killer. And time is running out...in Tell No Lies by Gregg Hurwitz.
"Menace, treachery, and intrigue have never been more exciting." --The Washington Post

This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

From the Back Cover:

NO CHOICE
Daniel Brasher is leaving behind his job as a probation counsellor working with hardened criminals to spend more time with his wife, now well again after serious illness. However, nothing is ever that simple...

NO TIME
When he finds a scrawled message in the post at work - 'admit what you've done or you will bleed for it. You have 'til midnite' - he is horrified but relieved to discover it's not addressed to him. Then he learns that the intended victim is already dead.

NO ESCAPE
More death threats signal a series of gruesome, seemingly inexplicable murders. Until a note is addressed to Daniel himself. And with the clock ticking he must discover who wants him dead. And why. Or become the next victim . . .

'Exerts a vice-like grip on the reader ... reminiscent of another American master, Harlan Coben' Crime Time

'Thriller writing at its best' Tess Gerritsen

'So fast it should come with an airbag' Linwood Barclay
