Leo Balanoff is a defense attorney who just can’t let justice slip by. He also has a dark and heartbreaking past that molded him into the kind of person that bends the rules for a good cause. This kind of thinking has gotten him into trouble more than once. When big-time drug dealer Cyrus Balik turns up dead, and Leo’s fingerprints are on the murder weapon, law enforcement thinks they have an open-shut case. Especially since he has connections and motive for this particular crime. So when FBI Agent Chris Roberti offers him a deal if he goes undercover to bust the person at the top, he reluctantly agrees to avoid going straight to prison. This throws him in the path of his ex-fiancé and former cop Andi Piotrowski, who has also been quite busy since they broke up. The longer Leo cooperates, the deeper he falls into a network that spans global operations, larger crime rings, and generations. The Best Lies by New York Times bestselling author David Ellis takes readers on a wild ride as Leo uses his wits, connections, and quirks to stay one step ahead of everyone to settle a score decades in the making.

But it all came crashing down. And even with her incredible success, all she has to show for it now is her childless, single, unemployed life and a new criminal record.
