What happens when telling the truth puts you on trial?

Dr. Lindsey McCall never set out to challenge the U.S. Department of Justice. But when cutting-edge medical research collides with one of the most explosive social debates of our time, she finds herself at the center of a federal indictment, and fighting for her freedom.

Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist Kate Townsend ignites a national firestorm with her controversial series on medical ethics and children. What begins as an attempt to expose wrongdoing quickly spirals into a sweeping conspiracy, drawing both women into a legal battle with life-altering consequences.

For Lindsey, the stakes are devastatingly personal. For the second time in four years, she faces charges of unintentional murder, in a courtroom where science, ideology, and justice collide.

Plausible Liars is a gripping medical-legal thriller that blends innovative medical research, psychological tension, and high-stakes courtroom drama. The fifth novel in Lin Wilder’s acclaimed Lindsey McCall series challenges readers to confront uncomfortable questions about truth, power, and what happens when medicine becomes political.

Compelling, provocative, and impossible to ignore, Plausible Liars asks one haunting question: when facts are dangerous, who decides which truths are allowed?
