Author Event: Heidi Christopher - Lies the Dirt Keeps
2026-01-17 14:00 - 16:00 | Winchester Book Gallery, 7 North Loudoun Street, Winchester, V, 22601, United States
She came home searching for her sister. What she uncovered could destroy them all.
Johnna LaGrange photographs death for a living. But when she gets the call that her younger sister Ori has vanished from their hometown of Sweetwater, North Carolina, the decay she’s drawn to becomes chillingly personal.
Returning to a town that never forgave her for surviving, Johnna finds her family in tatters-her mother drowning in vodka, her brother partying like nothing’s wrong. Only Shannon, her ex turned detective, is willing to help. But as they dig into Ori’s disappearance, buried memories start to surface-of the stepfather Johnna killed in self-defiance, and the darkness that’s lingered in the farmhouse ever since.
When people start dying, and Johnna wakes up with dirt on her hands and blood in her mouth, she begins to question everything-including her own mind.
But the truth is far worse than she ever imagined.
A haunting, explosive thriller about guilt, memory, and the lies we tell to survive, Lies The Dirt Keeps is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, KL Slater, and Shalini Boland.
