Summary
from Goodreads:
Cora has been able to detect lies since
she was born, she’s…a False Finder.
However when blackmail, betrayal, and lying are all the population has to protect themselves, it makes her dangerous. It also makes her a target.
Because of Cora’s ability, Rogan Carvelli—London’s biggest criminal leader—has been trying to acquire her for years.
Cora has learned to survive and remain undetected—at least until one careless mistake causes her friends to betray her.
Sold to Carvelli, Cora is only left with the help of a secret organisation to escape. She knows nothing about them, but they have saved her too many times to ignore.
However, the closer she gets, the clearer it becomes…
Their motives are far from innocent.

Excerpt 1
“Not my fight? How did you
come to that conclusion? You made it my fight when you sold me, Cora. This is
your fault not mine, and you only have yourself to blame!” Nick roared, his
grip tightening to a new painful intensity.
“I did not sell you. I cut a
deal with Rogan and you were collateral damage. I couldn’t help it.”
Even Cora flinched at her
words. What she had done to Nick was awful, but it was a necessity if she was
going to survive.
“You signed my life away.
You ruined my life by forcing me into a god-damned contract that has no loop
holes. Not only that, but then you had the audacity to attack me when you
escaped Rogan’s mansion last time. That is not collateral damage!”
He didn’t realise he was
shaking her fragile body until she let out another low groan.
“You weren’t meant to be a
part of the deal. I couldn’t help it. I tried to get you out of it, but there
was no way. It was me or you.”
“Don’t bullshit me. You know
there was a way out. I did nothing to you but be there and you sold me out,
just like your friends have done to you.” His words cut Cora like a knife,
slitting her deep.
“You knew too much…you knew
my secret…you weren’t meant to survive.” Cora muttered the last line, her jaw
tight with anger as she finally admitted the truth she had kept bottled up. He
wasn’t meant to hear it, but he did.
“What did you just say?” He
was shaking her once more, anger flowing out of him as he was finally
enlightened as to why Cora had betrayed him.
“You weren’t meant to
survive. You shouldn’t have passed the first test Rogan puts his men through.
You weren’t meant to come back. I was meant to be safe.”
“Well unluckily for you I
manned up. Not only did I pass every test Rogan threw at me but I worked my way
up. I’m now his second in command. How’s that for irony?”
“Screw you,” Cora spat,
tired of the conversation.
“You wish. For now though, I
think I’ll return the favour you so kindly granted me all those years ago.”
“Let me go, Nick, for old
time’s sake. I thought we were friends?” It was a lousy defence and Cora knew
it, but it was all she had left.
“We stopped being friends
years ago when you shafted me, Cora. I couldn’t care less what happens to you
anymore. Now shut up and move.”
