WHEN A HUSBAND'S LIE...
Attorney Brady Coyne has found his bar buddy Mick Fallon-former Detroit Pistons' star-brooding in his beer. His wife Kaye's just stunned him with a file for divorce, and she's taking him for everything. What Mick needs is a weapon like Brady to fight back. What Brady needs first is for Mick to come clean about his troubled marriage.

BETRAYS A WIFE'S SECRET...
What's no mystery is Mick's hair-trigger temper and gambling habit that's left him deep in debt to a local mobster. It's the third strike against him that's the eye-opener-Kaye's sudden brutal murder. With a motive that could hang him and an alibi nobody believes, Mick looks as guilty as sin-especially after he disappears.

ONLY MURDER CAN REVEAL THE TRUTH.
Now Brady's left to defend a man wanted for murder and on the run from his secrets. But it's Brady's investigation into Kaye's private life that yields the most surprising secrets of all. As each one unfolds they bring Brady closer to the truth about the crimes of the heart that could claim one more life before they're exposed...

"Virtually every flowing phrase of Muscle Memory impels the story or deepens character, and, quite often, both. Only a few writers of crime fiction have managed to generate prose this leanly poetic in the service of their hard-boiled stories. Tapply does it all the time."
-Boston Globe
