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 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.
