Join us on Facebook today at 1:00 p.m. EST as author Casey Barrett (The Tower of Songs) sits down with the thriller writer critics call  “a master of suspense” and “the modern queen of the cat and mouse tale,” Hank Phillippi Ryan. Hank is a longtime BookTrib contributor and Tall Poppy Writer, but what she is best known for is her award-winning fiction and journalism.

A USA Today bestselling author of 12 thrillers, Hank has won most of the prestigious awards in her genre: five Agathas, three Anthonys, the Daphne and the coveted Mary Higgins Clark Award. As an on-air investigative reporter for Boston’s WHDH-TV, she’s won 37 EMMYs and many more honors for her journalism.

Hank and Casey will be talking about her newest book, The First to Lie, released today. This compelling combination of suspense, a mystery of identity and trust, and the shifting versions of the truth is a psychological thriller that asks the question, What if being someone else could get you what you want?

After a devastating betrayal, a young woman sets off on an obsessive path to justice, no matter what dark family secrets are revealed. What she doesn’t know is that she isn’t the only one plotting her revenge. Among the cast of characters are an affluent daughter of privilege, a glamorous manipulative wannabe, a determined reporter, in too deep, and a grieving widow who must choose her new reality. Who will be the first to lie? And when the stakes are life and death, do a few lies really matter?
