ONE TRUE LIE is a story of overcoming obstacles, learning that you are stronger than you are, and of simply surviving. It is also a story of friendship.
American student Cat Goodwin accepts an invitation from former boyfriend Richard McMillan to visit him on Aruba. She travels to Aruba with her friend Holly Woodhouse. Then, one, night, Cat disappears.
The one thing that sets Inspecteur James Toussaint on edge is to investigate anything on the local drug lord Gracie’s territory. To confront the gangster means putting James’s family at risk. But that is where Cat Goodwin was last seen.
All Holly knows is that she has to do something, anything, to find her friend. When she discovers that the local police are looking in all the wrong places, she launches her own search.
How can James navigate the treacherous environment? Can Holly provide the clue that sets the police on the right path? Or does Cat, drugged and dehydrated, have to save herself to avoid a terrifying fate?
