Bookroo's summary

Jack Osborne's life is a web of lies, crafted to protect his family from a vengeful drug lord. As they hide under new identities, one mistake could lead Alonzo Aznar straight to them. With the trial looming, the stakes are higher than ever. Can Jack keep his family safe, or will a single slip-up doom them all? Secrets unravel, and danger lurks in this gripping tale of survival and betrayal.

From the publisher

Find out what happens when the wrong secrets get out in this high-stakes mystery about a family in hiding. Jack Osborne has spent the last year lying. Living with his family in the middle-of-nowhere Nebraska, everyone called him Zach, and nobody knew his father had been arrested for drug trafficking, all thanks to the Witness Security Program. But that didn’t stop his dad’s ruthless drug czar ex-boss Alonzo Aznar from coming after them–and narrowly missing them. Now, with his trial date fast approaching, Alonzo’s hunt for Jack’s family intensifies. One slip up, and Alonzo will find them, making sure no Osborne survives to testify against him. Jack has messed up once before, and he won’t do it again. Unfortunately, someone else in the family hasn’t been as careful… Action-packed with kidnapping, escapes, spies, and secrets, this unputdownable mystery thriller is the exciting follow-up to Zach’s Lie.
