HOUSE OF A THOUSAND LIES
Perfect for fans of Julia Heaberlin's We Are All the Same in the Dark and Megan Collins's The Family Plot, Cody Luke Davis' debut psychological thriller brings a sinister serial-killer tale to life with hair-raising twists and chilling turns.
How far will some families go to protect their legacy?
Diana Wolf likes to think she has it all: a rock-god husband, an empty nest, a wine cellar, and a dream home in the woods. Life is good. It has to be. But when she hires a cartographer, Kerry Perkins, to survey and map her estate, she pulls back a frayed corner of the lie that is her fairytale life. On his first night at Wolf Hollow, Kerry stumbles across a young girl's skeleton buried in the woods. But what really scares Diana is a familiar symbol carved into the girl's skull: two wolves.
A week later, the cops are digging in her backyard. Diana begins to question how good her life really is. How good of a man is her husband and how good a father? She's not the only one with questions. Kerry Perkins can't shake what he saw in the woods that night. He suspects that Diana recognized that symbol, that she lied to the police; that someone is watching him, and that whoever it is, they desperately want him to keep his mouth shut.
His search for answers leads him to Pink, a deeply disturbed man obsessed with the Wolf family's celebrity. Pink knows the family better than they know themselves - and he knows that the more he and Kerry dig, the more bones they will find.
Told through the eyes of multiple narrators, none of them reliable, this is a story about parents, the lies they tell their children, and the lies they tell themselves.
Los Angeles native Cody Luke Davis has made a career of working in the books-to-film departments at CAA and The Story Factory.
