Publisher Description
Lindsay Danner is an expert on Chinese bronzes who has an uncanny ability to separate fake from real. She is also a woman alone whose deeply buried memories bring her to screaming wakefulness in the small hours of the night. In the daytime, she has just one requirement of the people and objects in her life—honesty.
Jacob MacArthur Catlin was known under many names in the past, especially Dragon. Intelligent, ruthless, deadly, he became a legend in the shadow world of spies. His life was constructed of lies, deceit, and treachery. When he left that world, he never looked back. And never wanted to.
Then a man comes to Catlin bearing one half of an ancient Chinese coin. The past comes to dangerous life, a danger the sweeps up Lindsay. She is utterly unprepared for a life of lies. Catlin isn’t. Only working together can they survive layer after layer of deadly lies and shattering truths—and one of those truths is love.

"A masterpiece. For over a decade, until the Twilight series emerged, this was, and still is, the benchmark of BEST BOOK EVER READ for me. If you have never read it, please run, don't walk, to the nearest bookseller. I kid you not. A tour de force. BRAVA, Ms. Lowell. "

Tell Me No Lies Listener Reviews
-
" Romantic suspense set against 1980's Chinese American relations - interesting to read while watching Olympics in Bejing. It focuses on ancient Chinese bronze artifacts but the political background gives it a tense edge. "
— Vicki, 2/11/2014 -
" This was the book that made me read Elizabeth Lowell. The fact is, I've been waiting for another this dense for almost 20 years, and even though I haven't gotten it yet, I will continue to read her because even when she's not great she's still pretty darn good. "
— Carolyn, 2/10/2014 -

— Jackie, 12/13/2013 -
" One of Elizabeth Lowell's early books (1986)) and one of her best. Lots of intrigue and history of Chinese art. Little bit of romance thrown in for for hotness. :) "
— Reggie, 11/1/2013 -
" 100 pages of storyline in a 500 page book. Ugh. "

— Linda, 10/8/2013 -
" This has always been an easy re-read for me. Not sure exactly what it is I enjoy about it so much. I think it's the hero, and the dynamic between him and heroine, but mostly his own...awesomeness :P "
— Angela, 9/28/2013 -
" Much less formulaic than many other romances I've read. So far this has been the case with everything I've read in the Romantic Suspense genre. Good plot, good characters. "
— Felicia, 9/4/2013 -
" This is probably my favorite Elizabeth Lowell. Intrigue and romance. "
— Penny, 7/5/2013 -
" This remains my favorite Elizabeth Lowell novel. It straddles the line between romance and suspence, giving me enough of both. "
— Melanie, 12/19/2012 -

" Again, I learn something new (Chinese bronze) while reading an EL book. She is so amazing, and so thorough in her research. I know I will be a smarter woman after reading one of her books...how many romance novels can claim that? Love it, 4 stars. "
— Dana, 11/20/2011 -
" This is an author that I have read a lot of and have added her books to my 'keeper' book shelf. Most I have read at least twice and some even more than that. Always in depth characters that anyone can identify with on some level. "
