Publisher Description
She was kidnapped not once but twice and now someone wants her dead because of it... Her life was a lie!
Bailey knew her upbringing wasn't normal but she's worked hard to stabilize her life. At 29, she finally has a good business, a stable home; her life is miles from that of her childhood. Then suddenly her mother dies, leaving a gaping hole and a discovery that they may not even be related. If Guy, the private investigator is to be believed, her life is a lie.
Using the skills she learned on the streets, Bailey travels back through a sketchy and dangerous past, to find answers. Dodging bullets, staying ahead of those who want her dead and convincing Guy she can do it alone, are making it difficult to discover not only the secrets of her mother's past but that of a family claiming she is theirs.
Everyone seems to have a story... but who's telling the truth? And who wants her dead? Is Guy part of the solution? Or part of the problem? To discover the facts, she'll have to untangle a web of deceit, lies, and secrets, dating back over thirty years.

Customer Reviews
Captured Lies
A good suspenseful read that keeps you interested. I did enjoy the read for the most part but… A fair amount of typos, missing words, incorrect words that make you go back and reread which is annoying. Not quite as annoying as this Canadian using American spelling though! For crying out loud, the USA is just one country with their own quirky spelling, not every English speaking country has to follow along do they? I blame Microsoft and publishing houses for this ridiculous faux pas as well as authors that fold and bow to the US, ditching their own inherent dictionary.
Very good
Several different surprises makes a good read that you don't want to end.
