After her #1 debut, Full Disclosure, McLachlin offers another taut new thriller, this time exploring what happens when Jilly Truitt, a lawyer, stumbles across a dark truth hanging over an accused family she’s defending. Will this new information result in the truth…or denial? In Barclay’s latest, Find You First, millionaire Miles is in a race against time against a terminal illness. As his potential heirs begin to vanish, he must ask—who is the vicious killer, and how close are they? Don’t miss this riveting discussion between authors who know how to turn pages.
