For Every Crime There's a Secret Boston attorney Brady Coyne is devastated after receiving a call from his old friend Jake Gold. Jake's son, Brian, and the boy's girlfriend were involved in an accident that plunged their car into the depths of a local river. The girl was dragged up with the wreckage, DOA. Brian is still missing-most likely swept away by the frigid February currents. For Every Secret There's a Lie Brady already has unanswered questions, and with a personal interest in the case, he can't help but look beneath the surface of the watery grave in what he suspects was more than a tragic accident. Then when Jake disappears, and local authorities are loath to investigate, Brady's convinced that very little in the rural suburb of Reddington is what it seems. For Every Lie There's a Victim But finding his friend, Jake, is only the first piece of the puzzle. The trail leaves Brady to wonder who he can trust, who else is in danger, and how he can hope to survive a shocking small town secret that's taking no prisoners-and leaving no survivors.

William G. Tapply (1940–2009) was an American author best known for writing legal thrillers. A lifelong New Englander, he graduated from Amherst and Harvard before going on to teach social studies at Lexington High School. He published his first novel, Death at Charity’s Point, in 1984. A story of death and betrayal among Boston Brahmins, it introduced crusading lawyer Brady Coyne, a fishing enthusiast whom Tapply would follow through twenty-five more novels, including Follow the Sharks, The Vulgar Boatman, and the posthumously published Outwitting Trolls. Besides writing regular columns for Field and Stream, Gray’s Sporting Journal, and American Angler, Tapply wrote numerous books on fishing, hunting, and life in the outdoors. He was also the author of The Elements of Mystery Fiction, a writer’s guide. He died in 2009, at his home in Hancock, New Hampshire.
