Pre-Owned Deception Hardcover
Key item features
But secrets lurk behind closed doors, a dark truth made chillingly clear when, frantic to clear Susie's name, Lachlan searches her home office for proof of her innocence. In one small room he discovers an entire secret history: transcripts of private conversations, photographs, and letters betraying illicit affairs and false identities, all utterly unimaginable to Lachlan. For the first time, he is forced to question the nature of his seemingly happy marriage, the virtue of the bright young girl he married, and the possile malice of the woman she has become. Still, there is one off note, one loop he can't close. Desperate for answers, Lachlan follows an increasingly disturbing trail of clues.
That trail leads beyond reason, hope, and sanity, to a conclusion as shocking as it is ingenious. Relentlessly suspenseful, Deception is a thrilling read and irrefutable evidence of Denise Mina's considerable gifts as a novelist.
In-House Review: "I read about 4 books a week and very, very rarely do I find one as satisfying as Deception. It's not only a taut thriller, it's intensely human; the writing makes you feel as though you are in Lachlan's mind. You believe it, you feel it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I couldn't wait to get back to it every possible moment." - Jenn, Walmart.com Books Department
