Isabel Raine thought she had everything-a successful career, a supportive family, and a happy marriage. Then one ordinary morning, her husband, Marcus, leaves for work and never comes back. She spends the day frantically calling his cell phone and his office, but receives no answer. After a dramatic raid at his office in which she's knocked unconscious, a homicide detective shows up wanting to question her about Marcus Raine-the real Marcus Raine. Now the only thing Isabel knows for sure is that her husband of five years is gone. Where is he and who is he are questions no one seems able to answer. But Isabel will not rest until she discovers the truth about the man she loves, even if it means risking everything-including her own life.

The childhood murder of Lydia Strong's mother has turned her into a woman obsessed with bringing brutal killers to justice. The reclusive, bestselling true-crime writer and investigative consultant has made a life out of chasing monsters. And her powerful intuitions rarely fail her. When three adults-loners, drifters-go missing, no one seems to notice except for Lydia. Enlisting the help of her friend, former FBI agent Jeffrey Mark, Lydia starts an investigation of her own. But when someone raises the stakes and goes after Lydia-just as fifteen years ago when she put the FBI on the trail of her mother's killer-the real hunt begins.

Fresh from a tour promoting her last case, reclusive true crime writer Lydia Strong receives an anonymous cry for help, begging her to find and protect Tatiana Quinn, "and all the other girls in need of rescue." Maybe the plea strikes close to her heart; maybe her investigator's intuition starts buzzing. She takes it on. But this simple case of a missing teenager soon becomes much more. Someone wants Lydia to drop the case, someone powerful, someone anxious enough to engineer the reappearance of one of Lydia's first--and most dangerous--adversaries. Now, in addition to tracing the roots of Tatiana's disappearance on a trail across the country and eventually overseas, Lydia must find the man who wants her dead, his unfinished business from years ago.

Således denne amerikanske thriller, men allerede efter første højdramatiske afsnit blev mine små forventninger gjort til skamme, og jeg slap kun nødigt bogen, før allersidste side var læst. Smukke løgne er forfatterens debut og er blevet en bestseller. Den er voldsomt spændende, elegant komponeret og tilsat en række ingredienser fra trivigenren (smukke kvinder, sexede mænd, skønne hjem, onde skurke osv.), men disse glider ubemærket ned, mens man har travlt med at vende endnu en side. ... Smukke løgne er en hæsblæsende og nervepirrende thriller, der fx kan sammenlignes med romaner af Harlan Coben. Lone Krogh, lektør
