Near Roswell in 1948, something otherworldly falls from the sky and turns a young woman's shattered future-and her missing father-into a mystery no one wants her to solve.
Francie Cortez is smart, determined, and born with a head for physics. But in post-war New Mexico, culture and tradition mean a woman has no real place in a college classroom, let alone a lab. Facing closed doors on campus and a vanishing career path, Francie abandons her studies, a choice that feels too much like failure. She retreats to the family ranch-only to find her father has disappeared without a trace.
Her isolation shatters the morning a strange, otherworldly object slams into the mountains behind her home. The crash pulls Francie into a web of shifting stories, concealed motives, and uneasy alliances-including a charming soldier who seems to know more than he lets on. As she digs into the object's origins, she discovers it's bound up with her father's last experiments and with a secret others are desperate to control-no matter who gets hurt.
Caught between a menacing spaceman and a man sent to keep the truth buried, Francie stands at a crossroads where her choices become bigger than one crash, one mystery, or even one life. Exposing what really happened could cost her the ranch, her reputation, and the last ties to her father. But if she takes the easier road, she'll turn her back on her own second chance-and on the chance to help shape a future where women can become anything they wish to be.
If you love determined heroines, haunted New Mexico landscapes, slow-burn romance, and historical mysteries brushed with the uncanny, Echo of Lies will pull you into a world where the past is never as distant as it seems-and where courage in the present can rewrite what comes next.
