THE LIES THEY TELL

Eighteen-year-old Pearl Haskins, a server at the exclusive Tenney's Harbor Country Club, infiltrates a group of privileged boys who may hold the key to the murder of a wealthy family. She finds herself drawn to intense, aloof Tristan Garrison, the sole survivor of the crime. As Pearl enters Tristan's world of posh parties, scandal, and deception among the summer elite, she'll find the deadly truth of what happened to the Garrisons.
