Before Ella Perri uncovered her family's secrets, the silence had already begun.
In the coastal town of Tropea, Italy, Sal Perri has built a thriving marina-and a carefully protected reputation. But beneath the surface of this tight-knit community lies a truth no one dares to confront.
When two young women vanish under unsettling circumstances, whispers ripple through the town. Doors are locked earlier. Accusations simmer quietly. And the Perri name is spoken in hushed tones.
As suspicion grows and loyalties fracture, a devastating truth begins to surface-one rooted not in strangers, but in family. Because the most dangerous betrayals aren't committed by outsiders... they're protected by those closest to us.
Lies That Bind is the gripping prequel to the Ella Perri Mysteries, exposing the long-buried secrets and moral compromises that shaped the Perri legacy.
Family. Silence. Betrayal.
