Veritas. Truth. Alik Lassiter a renowned detective/crime solver from across the pond believes that there is no nobler goal than finding the truth.
When Kat McCann was 6 years old, Lassiter helped to solve her mother’s murder. Lassiter was also the muse for famous author Carissa Miller. The dame of who-dun-it’s. Kat and others are huge fans of both the author and the detective because her mother’s murder was fodder for a book.
When Kat is 16 she gets to meet Lassiter at a lecture and he remembers her from his investigation. In a dream come true, he invites Kat and her guardian to his home for Christmas break.
Lassiter is a smooth talker. He brings people into his story. He owns the room and because of all of the investigations that he has solved he has the law in his pockets and people begging for his time.
Told from Kat’s POV this sassy, curious and smart-mouthed teenager gets way more than she bargained for. Imagine knowing the victim, the murderer and all of the circumstances surrounding a horrific crime but not able to tell the truth. Or worse - being controlled like a marionette in a monster’s play. This witty and smart approach to a whodunnit is a must read for the masses.
