USA Today bestselling author Hank Phillippi Ryan joins us to discuss The First to Lie, her psychological thriller about an investigative reporter squaring off with a major pharmaceutical company. This revenge story full of dark family secrets pits the newsroom against corporate sabotage.

Our host Ann Bocock sits down with Hank Phillippi Ryan to explore the intricate art of lying. As an on-air investigative reporter for Boston’s WHDH-TV, she is no stranger to keeping secrets for the sake of a great story. Ryan details how closely her stories resemble her undercover work and the ethical tightrope she has to navigate. With more than a dozen spin-chilling thrillers, she’s won the most prestigious awards in the genre: five Agatha’s, three Anthony’s, the Daphne and the coveted Mary Higgins Clark Award.

Ryan also explains how evoking fear and suspense is more effective than violence and vulgarity, and reveals her very own secret to writing – never knowing the ending! Get all the details on this week’s episode of GO Between the Covers!
