Some Secrets Refuse to Stay Buried
Lily has it all. A career at a fast-paced tech startup. A man she plans to marry. A coveted promotion within reach ... Until the video.
On the day Lily unveils cutting-edge software designed to detect deepfakes, she becomes the victim of one herself. The fabricated video, in which she’s the star, threatens her carefully built future. She doesn’t know who’s behind it. But she knows they’re just getting started.
As Lily’s world unravels and she searches for answers, one question echoes the loudest: Has karma finally come for her?
Because seventeen years ago, Lily tried to solve another mystery. But she made a mistake then, one that nearly destroyed her and took others down with it.
She buried the truth, convinced it would stay hidden. But someone knows what really happened, and they’re determined to dig up the past. This time, Lily can’t afford to get it wrong.
How to Bury a Secret will be available on 5 March 2026.
