A librarian and a gang boss fight for money. Surviving doesn't come into it.

My name is Becky. I arrived home to find my husband, Chris, stabbed to death and a gang of men ransacking our house.

Turns out that Chris had something that belonged to them. And if I want to stay alive, I have to find it and return it. They've given me seven days. And a beating.

There is nowhere to hide and no time left to look. So I will stand my ground as the deadline approaches. All I have is a head full of lies and a very bad plan.

This is my story.

If you like fast-paced psychological thrillers with characters that grab you by the throat, you'll love Andrew Barrett's The End of Lies.
