Mentre, come ogni sera, spia la finestra dell'amante per sapere quando potrà andare da lei, Marty Kalish assiste a una violenta lite tra la donna e il marito. Quando ode degli spari, Marty interviene. Ma ormai il rivale è morto. Occultato il cadavere, i due amanti si costruiscono un alibi di ferro. Ma dopo i primi interrogatori spunta un anonimo testimone: per proteggere Rachel, Marty si accusa dell'omicidio. Indiscrezioni giornalistiche rivelano che al processo la donna testimonierà contro il proprio amante. Marty riesce però a difendersi da queste accuse e a demolire le prove portate dall'anonimo testimone. Ma la sua intricata storia non si conclude nemmeno dopo il proscioglimento...

Simon e Vicky non potrebbero essere più ordinari: una coppia benestante di Chicago, lui stimato professore di legge, lei sostenitrice delle vittime di violenza domestica. Un matrimonio stabile, anche se non entusiasmante. Ma una cosa è certa... niente è come sembra. Uno dei due potrebbe essere un assassino. Quando il corpo di un’avvenente socialite viene trovato appeso in una villa di un sobborgo vicino, i segreti di Simon e Vicky iniziano a trapelare. Una relazione segreta e burrascosa. Un fondo fiduciario di venti milioni di dollari che sta per scadere. Un rancore decennale e l’ossessione della vendetta. Questi sono solo alcuni degli aspetti che compongono la fitta rete di bugie... e avranno conseguenze devastanti. E se da un lato è chiaro che Vicky e Simon sono entrambi dei bugiardi, come stabilire chi sta truffando chi?

Following God’s call to cross cultural mission, Ellis’ experience from riots, political upheaval, physical hardship, and burn out, to caring for his wife, Adèle, through her Alzheimer’s, he would have been unable to hold fast without a robust biblical understanding of God’s providence and sovereignty. With feeling and honesty Ellis weaves anecdote with biblical meditation, allowing scripture (especially the pivotal Psalm 2) to form the lens through which the world, in all its frightening chaos, is viewed. A personal, pastoral, faith building read, it offers scriptural reflection not trite answers – robust biblical wisdom for guidance, encouragement and challenge for Christians of all ages and stages.
