What literary device is it if a word begins with the sound the previous word ends in? such as 'doubt' and 'truth' in: Doubt truth to be a liar.

Don't know any literary device but it's gemination. – Void Sep 6 '20 at 15:18
I think you are looking for consonance. It is the consonant version of assonance, and alliteration is a more specific type of consonance.
However, I do not think I would characterize the end of "doubt" as having the same sound as the beginning of "truth".

It is not specific to the end of one word and the beginning of another, but could work. – katatahito Jun 21 '19 at 5:01
