The City of Liars: When Every Answer Is a Deadly Trap

By Augustino ROBBINS

In a city where everyone lies, how can you unmask the only person telling the truth?
In Veridia, never ask two people for the time: you would get three answers, and none of them would be right. Here, lying is not a vice - it is a mother tongue.

When the mayor is found dead inside the clock tower that has stood still for ten years, clutching a letter in his hand - "In this city, truth kills faster than lies" - investigator lise Marceau arrives from the capital. Methodical, formidable, and able to read deception on any face, she quickly loses her certainty: her methods are useless in a city that lies in unison.

Because a secret has been sleeping there for ten years. A young woman who vanished. A smuggling network buried in silence. Untouchable local figures. And a persistent legend: that of the Truth-Teller, the only inhabitant incapable of lying - a hope for some, a deadly threat for others.

To solve this impossible crime, lise will have to overturn everything she knows: stop hunting lies, and learn to distrust the truth. Until she understands that, in this city, truth may be the sharpest weapon of all.

A dizzying psychological thriller about lies, revenge, and the price of truth.
