Paperback. The lie was told in love. The love was real. So was everything it destroyed.For thirteen years, Daniel Rowe has lived the life of a man who has nothing to hide. Celebrated architect. Devoted husband. Respected member of the community he helped build. He moves through Whitmore with the practiced ease of someone who has long since made peace with the past, and the past, in return, has stayed exactly where he left it.Until Layla Okafor walks through his office door.A brilliant investigative journalist with a leather satchel and watchful eyes, Layla is reopening the death of Marcus Webb, Daniel's closest friend and business partner, ruled a suicide thirteen years ago after a fall from a ninth-floor balcony. The investigation was eleven days long. The detective was overworked. The conclusion was convenient.Layla has the photograph. She has the security log. She has the testimony. And she has something that Daniel could never have prepared for: she is Marcus Webb's daughter. The daughter Marcus never knew he had. The daughter whose mother watched a man walk out of a building on a rainy October night and chose, for twenty-five years, to carry what she saw alone.As Layla dismantles the architecture of Daniel's perfect version of events, the truth that emerges is not the simple story of a guilty man. It is something more devastating and more human than that. It is the story of a lie told with complete sincerity, in the name of love, to protect the people who mattered most, that quietly became the structure holding everything else upright.Beneath the Honest Lie is a psychological thriller of extraordinary moral complexity. It is a story about the things we decide other people are allowed to know. About whether good intentions can survive the weight of what they are protecting. About a daughter who chose understanding over the easier geography of anger. And about a man who built his entire life on a foundation he knew was cracked, and waited, with a patience indistinguishable from dread, for the day someone would come and stand in front of it without looking away.For readers of Tana French, Gillian Flynn, and Harlan Coben.Some secrets are buried to protect the living. Some truths are withheld in the name of love. And some lies are told so honestly, so completely, and with such genuine feeling, that even the person telling them nearly forgets they are not the truth.Nearly. This item is printed on demand.

The lie was told in love. The love was real. So was everything it destroyed.
For thirteen years, Daniel Rowe has lived the life of a man who has nothing to hide. Celebrated architect. Devoted husband. Respected member of the community he helped build. He moves through Whitmore with the practiced ease of someone who has long since made peace with the past, and the past, in return, has stayed exactly where he left it.
Until Layla Okafor walks through his office door.
A brilliant investigative journalist with a leather satchel and watchful eyes, Layla is reopening the death of Marcus Webb, Daniel's closest friend and business partner, ruled a suicide thirteen years ago after a fall from a ninth-floor balcony. The investigation was eleven days long. The detective was overworked. The conclusion was convenient.
Layla has the photograph. She has the security log. She has the testimony. And she has something that Daniel could never have prepared for: she is Marcus Webb's daughter. The daughter Marcus never knew he had. The daughter whose mother watched a man walk out of a building on a rainy October night and chose, for twenty-five years, to carry what she saw alone.
As Layla dismantles the architecture of Daniel's perfect version of events, the truth that emerges is not the simple story of a guilty man. It is something more devastating and more human than that. It is the story of a lie told with complete sincerity, in the name of love, to protect the people who mattered most, that quietly became the structure holding everything else upright.
Beneath the Honest Lie is a psychological thriller of extraordinary moral complexity. It is a story about the things we decide other people are allowed to know. About whether good intentions can survive the weight of what they are protecting. About a daughter who chose understanding over the easier geography of anger. And about a man who built his entire life on a foundation he knew was cracked, and waited, with a patience indistinguishable from dread, for the day someone would come and stand in front of it without looking away.
For readers of Tana French, Gillian Flynn, and Harlan Coben.
Some secrets are buried to protect the living. Some truths are withheld in the name of love. And some lies are told so honestly, so completely, and with such genuine feeling, that even the person telling them nearly forgets they are not the truth.
Nearly.

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
