Deadly Lies by Chris Patchell

I could not put this book down.  It kept me interested until the last page.  Jill Shannon was a victim of abuse from her step-father after the death of her mother and brother. After he dies, she vows never to be a victim again. Fast forward several years and Jill is a successful computer program creator married to a detective, Alex, who works in Cyber Crimes. Alex is working on a kidnapping murder case that takes him to California.  He meets up with a detective who assists him and later asks if he can look into the computer dating angle of a couple of murders he is working on.  Meanwhile, after being dumped by her boss, who she is having and affair with and being a victim of a date rape drug, Jill takes matters into her own hands and things spiral out of control. When the two situations overlap, Alex and Jill come to a crossroad where a serious decision must be made. A gripping read and a great debut novel.
