About this listen
A USA TODAY Bestseller
Bestselling and award-winning author David Ellis delivers a fast-paced, twisty thriller that will surprise listeners at every turn.
Leo Balanoff is a crusading attorney with unthinkable skeletons in his closet. He's also a diagnosed pathological liar. When a predatory gangster with a long list of victims is found dead and Leo’s fingerprints show up on the murder weapon, no one believes a word he says in his defense. But he might be the FBI’s only shot at taking down the gangster's even more lethal boss.
Risk his life going undercover for the feds or head straight to prison for murder? Leo accepts the FBI’s offer—but it comes with a price, including a collision course with his ex, Andi Piotrowski, a former cop and "the one who got away." Anyone else forced to walk this tightrope between an ambitious FBI agent and a cruel, calculating crime boss would fail. But this isn't Leo's first balancing act, and he still has a few tricks up his sleeve...

Critic reviews
“The Best Lies is the best book I’ve read in a long time; a complicated, high-stakes thriller in which all the characters have something to win and everything to lose. With an absolutely unpredictable plot and an ending that was as surprising as it was satisfying, I raced through this book in a single sitting. Just read it!” — Karen Dionne, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Marsh King's Daughter
“The Best Lies is an addictive, whip-smart thriller. David Ellis is a master at writing keep-you-up-all-night books, and this is no exception.” — Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author of A Twisted Love Story
“It’s the very rare book that elicits such violent yet positive physical reactions from me. The Best Lies is truly one of the smartest, most propulsive mysteries I’ve ever read….It’s really hard to talk in any depth about how amazing this book is without giving away any spoilers. Let’s just say that this is way more than a story of the collision between industrial espionage and a vicious crime syndicate. It’s smart, humorous, heartfelt, and written so propulsively that it’s impossible to put down. I adored this book so much that it’s one of my favorites of 2024, and hopefully will be one of yours, too.” — Criminal Element
“It is truly the perfect thriller: twisty, surprising, and not at all predictable….It’s one of those books where everything is connected in a way that makes finishing it feel like getting a gift wrapped up in a bow. If you’re looking for your next favorite thriller, you will not be disappointed in this.” — The EveryGirl
