The Truth Hurts: A Novel - Tapa blanda

MURDER BY THE BOOK It's the most bizarre and frightening proposal true-crime writer Marie Lightfoot has ever received: a killer wants Marie to collaborate with him by becoming his next victim -- and writing a book about her own murder. But for Marie, it may be the key to solving her most personal mystery and at last uncover the truth about the disappearance of her parents. They were underground Civil Rights activists who vanished during the explosive summer of 1963. Now Marie must follow the instructions of her "co-author" to find the answers she seeks in a small Alabama town -- while racing to outwit her would-be killer before she is forced to write her own final page. Following "The Whole Truth" and "Ring of Truth," award-winning author Nancy Pickard pens the sensational third novel in the acclaimed series starring Marie Lightfoot. It's no lie that The "Truth Hurts" is her most hair-raising page-turner yet.

Nancy Pickard, creator of the acclaimed Jenny Cain mystery series, won the Anthony Award for Say No to Murder, a Macavity Award for Marriage Is Murder, and two Agatha Awards for Best Novel, for Bum Steer in 1990 and I.O.U. in 1991. Her critically acclaimed mystery series featuring true-crime writer Marie Lightfoot began with the Edgar Award­nominated national bestseller The Whole Truth, followed by Ring of Truth and The Truth Hurts. A former reporter and editor, she is a past president of Sisters in Crime. She divides her time between Kansas and Florida.
