ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 23 2018
Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.
Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.
Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.
Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine.
Lie: I was only there for a fresh start.
Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.
But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

REVIEW: THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is the first instalment in Aly Martinez’s contemporary, adult THE TRUTH DUET focusing on twenty-nine year old Cora Guerros and thirty-seven year old Penn Walker.
Told from dual first person perspectives ( Cora and Penn) THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is a tale of truths and lies; a story of love but not romance; a saga about two strangers whose path to the present are as diverse as night and day but paths that have crossed and connected through betrayal and vengeance.
Cora Guerros is a strong, likeable and determined heroine who fourteen years earlier found herself forced into a world she knew nothing about. Hoping to make something better for those who have followed in her wake, Cora is mother, father, counsellor and protector to save those who want to be saved, and protect those who would otherwise find themselves missing or dead.
Four years earlier, Penn Walker suffered an unbearable loss; a witness to the traumatic unfolding as a life was forfeited before his eyes. Broken and battered, Penn, along with his ‘brother’ Drew embark on a dangerous journey into the seedy underside of a lifestyle very few choose, and even fewer enjoy.
THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is a dark, emotional, gritty and hypnotizing story; an all-consuming look at the brutal reality of life for those who find themselves struggling to survive in a world blackened by the very poison from which they had ran. A story of revenge, THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is an emotional, revealing and captivating commentary of love and loss; betrayal and revenge.
