What you see depends on where you’re standing. And who you’re willing to trust.

When Oran plunges to his death from the towering Cliffs of Moher, it’s ruled a tragic accident. His friends were there. He was near the edge. The police close the case without hesitation.

Then a stranger steps forward—insisting Oran was pushed—and accuses his oldest friend, Ben Weston, of murder.

The police won’t reopen the investigation, but the tabloids won’t let it go. As the media frenzy grows, Ben’s powerful father is desperate to protect his business. His mother, desperate to protect her son, wants answers.

Several investigators have already failed. But through a quiet legal connection, freelance journalist Aoife Walsh is invited to take the case. Ben’s father scoffs—he’s already paid for the best. But his wife believes in Aoife. And that’s all the invitation she needs.

Aoife is no stranger to fractured loyalties. Her office job is soul-crushing, her boss keeps crossing lines, and her relationship with Detective Conor Moloney is strained by questions of marriage she’s not ready to answer. She once believed in forever—and it nearly ruined her. Taking on the Weston case gives her something she badly needs: independence, control, and a chance to do what she does best—dig for the truth.

Why is the witness so sure of what she saw, when no one else noticed a thing? What really happened the night before Oran died? And why does the Weston family seem so perfect—yet so completely broken?

As Aoife searches for answers, emotional tensions rise and buried secrets unravel. But when you push too far, sometimes there's no way back.

\*Where Loyalties Lie\* is a fast-paced psychological thriller packed with domestic suspense, media scandal, and the deadly fallout of friendship, betrayal, and long-hidden lies.
