About this ebook

The first book in the Joe O'Loughlin series, from the multi-million-copy bestselling author. NOW A MAJOR ITV DRAMA STARRING AIDAN TURNER.
Liar, liar . . .
Joe O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life - a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life.

Caught in a complex web of deceit and haunted by images of the slain girl, he embarks upon a search that will take him from London to Liverpool and into the darkest recesses of the human mind. Ultimately, he will risk everything to unmask the killer and save his family.

Can't get enough? The next book in the Joe O'Loughlin series is The Drowning Man.
And don't miss the #1 bestseller's nail-biting new thriller Lying Beside You, out now.

There's something about Michael Robotham and his ability to keep me up til 5 in the morning, unable to put his books down. Joe O'Loughlin is a great character I warm to very easily. Its written as though by an actual physiologist! I recommend this book to crime lovers. It will keep you guessing until the last chapter.
