Am I a murderer? You tell me . . . Five years ago, Lucy Chase was found stumbling along the highway covered in her best friend's blood, with no memory of what happened the night before. While the police couldn't find the evidence to convict her, everyone in her hometown - husband, parents, friends - decided she did it anyway. Now, Lucy has moved away and put her past behind her. Until Ben Owens, host of the wildly popular podcast Listen for the Lie, contacts her. His next series is going to be about the cold case, and he offers her the chance to join the investigation and finally find out the truth of what happened that night. She decides to accept. After all, if you're a murderer, it's probably better to know, right? As they return to Lucy's hometown and begin to uncover the secrets of the night she forgot, the walls she has so carefully built around herself begin to crumble. Which is just what she wanted . . . isn't it?
