Heart of Lies

“A sweeping saga reminiscent of Jeffrey Archer and Susan Howatch, *Heart of Lies* is brilliantly researched and beautifully written. I could not put this book down.”

—Karen White, *New York Times* bestselling author of *The Girl on Legare Street*

A smart, exciting historical suspense novel set in Europe, Shanghai, and New York before World War II, *Heart of Lies *is a breathtaking introduction to M. L. Malcolm. This extraordinary new writer immediately takes an honored place among Frederick Forsyth (*The Day of the Jackal*), Ken Follett (*Eye of the Needle*), Susan Howatch (*Glittering Images*), and other masters of compelling historical fiction. Inspired by true events in the author’s family’s past, *Heart of Lies *is an extraordinary reading experience that *Library Journal* praises as, “A superbly crafted story, creatively capturing a slice of history with eloquence and realism.”
