You Betrayed Me: A Chilling Novel of Gripping Psychological Suspense

by Lisa Jackson

Overview

A Goodreads Big Thriller of Fall

A twisting, unpredictable new novel of suspense by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, perfect for fans of the page-turning novels of Harlan Coben, Melinda Leigh, and Gregg Olsen.

“The constant twists will keep the readers hooked. This is a nonstop thrill ride.”
—Publishers Weekly

The Cahills of San Francisco are famous for two things: their vast wealth, and the scandals that surround them. Murder, greed, deadly ambition . . . some people will do anything to get, and keep, the Cahills’ kind of money. Not that James Cahill wants any of it. He’s tried to make his own way, less interested in a future inheritance than in his construction company—and in enjoying the many women taken in by the easy charms of a handsome, soon-to-be-rich bad boy.
 
“Jackson juices things up with plenty of sexy suspense and a generous amount of
high-octane thrills.”
—Booklist
 
Perhaps there’ve been too many women. Waking up in a small hospital in Washington State, bandaged and bruised, James barely recognizes the gorgeous blonde who comes to visit. Through the haze of pain and medication, he recalls that she is Sophia, the woman he’s been cheating with. Gradually memories return—his girlfriend, Megan, had found out about Sophia. Now Megan is missing, her sister is hounding him—and police and reporters are asking questions. James insists he has no idea what happened. Yet he can’t escape a feeling of dread . . .
 
“A good mystery that keeps readers guessing until the very end.”
—The Parkersburg News & Sentinel
 
Meanwhile, in a locked room, a woman waits, trapped, petrified, desperate. She thought she knew who to trust. But the betrayal you can’t imagine—or can’t remember—may be the most terrifying weapon of all . . .

Editorial Reviews

05/18/2020

A complex web of romantic entanglements forms the core of Jackson’s exhilarating third Cahills romantic suspense novel (after Almost Dead). Megan Travers has a vicious fight with her boyfriend, serial dater James Cahill, after which Megan goes missing and James wakes in a hospital room badly bruised and beaten, with no recollection of how he got there or the woman, Sophia Russo, who shows up insisting that she’s his girlfriend. James is also the main person of interest in Megan’s disappearance, but his memory loss holds up the investigation. Not buying the amnesia angle, Megan’s sister, Rebecca, another of James’s ex-lovers, arrives in Riggs Crossing, Wash., determined to find out what really happened. The memory of James’s passion for Rebecca turns out to be the only thing that can break through James’s foggy mind. The romance takes a back seat to the suspense as Jackson pulls the entire cast of kooky, nefarious townsfolk into the mystery of Megan’s disappearance, and the constant twists will keep the readers hooked. This is a nonstop thrill ride. Agent: Robin Rue, Writers House. (Oct.)
