Until the Truth Comes Out: A Novel

A rockstar at the height of his fame. A wife on the edge. A secret that will ruin them. And one night that changes everything.

In the spring of 1997, Zane McCreight is at the height of his fame — sold-out stadiums, magazine covers, and a perfect family that looks flawless from the outside. But behind the image, everything is unraveling.

Sienna has been Zane’s wife for over twenty years. She has built her life around him, raised his children, and looked the other way. Now faced with a devastating new reality, she can no longer pretend.

Claudia Crawford came to the band as a backup singer in 1989 with a notebook full of songs and a desperate need to be seen. Instead, she fell into the orbit of two men who would define — and nearly destroy — her. Now, alone with a newborn and a secret she’s been pressured to keep, she is trying to find a way out.

As Zane’s band prepares for a massive tribute concert in the desert — under the eerie glow of the Hale-Bopp comet — the web of lies that has held everything together begins to unravel. Then, on the night of the show, while the world watches the stage, the youngest two McCreight children vanish into the desert darkness.

Told through decades of flashbacks — from a 1963 friendship forged between two teenage boys to the dramatic climax 35 years later — Until the Truth Comes Out is a gripping, emotionally complex story of fame, marriage, ambition, the devastating cost of keeping secrets — and the strength of the women left to carry it all.

Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty’s layered domestic suspense, Celeste Ng’s emotional depth, and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s slow-burn multi-perspective storytelling.
