No one writes legal suspense like Perri O’Shaughnessy. Blending powerful human drama with legal thrills,
mystery, humor, and unforgettable characters, the New York Times bestselling author has created a uniquely
entertaining series of novels centered around lawyer and single mother Nina Reilly. Now, in a masterful new
novel, Nina’s investigation into an unsolved murder takes her on a dark journey strewn with old crimes, bitter
truths, and heart-stopping danger.
For Nina Reilly, the mountain town of Lake Tahoe is home. It’s where she forged a successful career as a tough,
resourceful attorney–and raised her teenage son, Bob, alone. Back from a stint in Monterey, where her love life
took a tumble, Nina has returned to her Tahoe law office with her old friends Sandy Whitefeather and Sandy’s
son, Wish. It isn’t long before she has a new client whose wife was shot and killed during a casino-district
robbery two years before. The police have no suspects, and the robbery victims, three students, lied about
their identities and are hiding outside California and the reach of the court.Two of the witnesses have fled to
a village not far from the home of Bob’s father, Kurt Scott, in Germany. As Nina tries to unravel the mystery of
one violent Tahoe night, a harrowing journey begins–one that takes her from the dark underworld of Tahoe’s
casinos to the halls of a prestigious East Coast university to Europe and an emotional reunion with Kurt.
As old feelings are rekindled, Nina’s case turns violent. Everyone has something to hide–the brilliant but
unstable mathematics student who has made an astonishing discovery, the owner of a motel where the shooting
took place, and the shooter, who has turned the whole case into a gigantic lie.
Filled with all the rich drama, stunning surprises, and ingenious twists we have come to expect from this
incomparable storyteller, Case of Lies will grab you from the very first page and never let you go as it speeds
to its incredible conclusion.
