The Hartford Lie
Georgia knows her sister didn't die of a heroin overdose—but no one believes her.
Police seem more interested in closing Kat’s case than seeking justice, so six months after finding the body, Georgia sets out to uncover the truth. Between her estranged brother’s disappearance and Kat’s murder, searching for answers could cost her everything, but staying in the dark is worse.
Teaming up with her niece Carly, Georgia digs into Hartford’s gang-infested underworld, exposing secrets that hit too close to home. But as Georgia gets closer to the truth, she finds herself in the crosshairs of corruption more insidious than she ever feared. To bring Kat’s murderer to justice, they must first survive—and unravel a lethal web of lies.
The more they dig, the more they reveal—and the more they call unwanted attention to ruthless criminals. With threats closing in on every side, Georgia’s search for answers could bring justice—or unearth secrets better left buried.
The Hartford Lie is a fast-paced, crime-packed psychological journey about one family’s struggle to escape the shadow of the past. Trapped between grief and justice, one woman must sleuth out the truth in a desperate bid to save her family—even if it destroys her.

About the author
Kassie Dwyer
1 book5 followersI am a farmer and freelance writer specializing in informative articles and website content. A former history teacher, I now devote my time to my farm and my writing when the farm allows. I live on Eden Farm in Athens, Maine with her husband Joe and our son Joey.
I have been freelance writing since 2009 as a way to make a little extra cash. Almost all of my work has been non-fiction and research-based. I never thought I could write fiction, but a few summers ago I got a great idea after hearing a story about a family member. I had an "itch" to write about it, so I started to put it to paper. I gave up after a while, lacking confidence in my abilities.
Months later, I met a woman who changed my life! She is a "real" author...like she does it for a living! She encouraged me to keep going with my story, and I saw it through. I was shocked that people (even the ones I wasn't related to) liked my book! I am so grateful that I took the plunge into fiction and for where my writing has taken me.
