Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

One night of passion unleashes a century of secrets...In 1920s New York, two little girls vanish-one from a gilded playground, the other from a crowded tenement. When only one child is found, her memories erased, both families claim her. The Carters' wealth secures their victory in court, leaving the Dresslers shattered.Decades later, LIV, a psychologist and single mother, meets THEO, a brilliant pianist who's fought his way out of poverty. Their magnetic, impulsive night together seems like fate, until morning changes everything: Theo is a Dressler, bound to the same family tragedy that shadows Liv's past.Drawn together by a force neither can resist, the two begin to unravel the tangled threads of their families' histories. But every clue they find reveals another mystery. As ghostly interventions guide their quest and their feelings deepen, they must decide what they're willing to risk for the truth, for their families...and for each other.With echoes of a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, City of Liars transports readers from the glittering world of 1920s New York City to the windswept shores of contemporary North Carolina, spinning a tale of secrets, injustice, and the ghosts that refuse to stay silent.Perfect for fans of Barbara Davis's The Echo of Old Books, Susanna Kearsley's Bellewether, and Emily Henry's Great Big Beautiful Life.
