Lies That Bind

A town paralyzed by fear. Two missing girls. One dark truth.

Discover the devastating origin of the Ella Perri Mysteries...

Lies That Bind takes you to the time before Buried Secrets. In the seemingly tranquil coastal town of Tropea, Italy, Sal Perri runs a thriving marina business, concealing a dark secret. But when two young women vanish under similar, terrifying circumstances, the shadows of the past refuse to stay buried.

The villagers whisper names and lock their doors at night. Someone will stop at nothing to protect the Perri legacy, and as the mystery of the missing girls deepens, the true danger reveals itself: the ultimate betrayal is closer than blood.

This explosive prequel exposes the deep-seated corruption and deadly secrets that set the entire Ella Perri Mystery Series in motion.

Family. Deception. Murder.

While part of a connected series, each book in the Ella Perri Mysteries can be enjoyed as a compelling standalone novel.
