Lying Beside You

Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in this "expertly paced and psychologically acute" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) thriller from Michael Robotham that´s "one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down" (Stephen King). Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven survived a family massacre. The killer? His brother Elias. Now Elias is applying for release from a secure psychiatric hospital--and Cyrus is expected to forgive and welcome him home. In this "brilliant novel" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto), Elias is returning to a very different world. Cyrus is now a successful psychologist, working with the police, sharing his house with Evie Cormac, a damaged and gifted teenager who can tell when someone is lying. When a man is murdered and his daughter Maya Kirk disappears, Cyrus is called in to profile the killer and help piece together Maya´s last hours. Soon, a second victim is taken, and Evie is the only person who glimpsed the man behind the wheel. But there´s a problem. Only two people believe her. One is Cyrus. The other is the killer.
