A wrongfully convicted man and the key witness against him join forces to figure out who framed him for murder in a riveting novel of small-town secrets by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb.
Every person in Pine Bluff, Alabama, stood behind Emily Wallace when she testified against Clint Austin. After all, Emily knows what she saw that terrible Clint, covered in blood, holding the body of her best friend Heather.
But Clint has always maintained his innocence, and now, after a successful appeal, he has come home to prove it.
The whole town is furious about his return, and Emily becomes obsessed with sending Clint back to prison—until her father reveals a devastating secret that casts doubt on the whole trial. What if she was wrong?
When another person with a connection to Heather turns up dead, Clint and Emily embark on a desperate search to find the truth. Because ten years ago, they were both betrayed by someone they know. So who, in a town full of liars, is getting away with murder?
Revised Previously published as Traceless, this edition of The Ten Year Lie includes editorial revisions.
What I thought about The Ten Year Lie
Clint Austin goes to jail for ten years for a crime he didn't commit.
When he is released due to issues with the evidence against him, he
returns to Pine Bluff to look for who set him up.
Emily Wallace
also returns home to make sure Clint never forgets he's a killer. The
people in Pine Bluff hate him and want him gone.
But there are
real holes in the evidence and the stories from all involved. Can Emily
and Clint work together to solve the case? After all, Emily did have a
little thing for Clint before he killed her friend!
I liked this
story and became really involved once Emily and Clint deal with their
relationship. The romantic elements were solid and entertaining, and the
mystery of who killed Heather unravels with a few surprises. My only
complaint was that the first half was a bit slow and it took some time
for this to become a page-turner for me. 4 stars.
