The first novel in Elizabeth George's Young Adult series. This genre-bending work combines Elizabeth's flair for mystery and suspense with the paranormal.

Becca King and her mother are on the run from her stepfather who has used Becca's talent for hearing 'whispers' to make a large and illegal sum of money. Now their options for safety are running out. In the town of Langley on Whidbey Island, Becca finds refuge in the home of her mother's childhood friend while her mother continues on to Canada in search of safety.

But on her first day in town Becca meets sixteen years old Derric Nyombe Matheson a Ugandan orphan who was adopted as a ten-year-old by the town's Deputy Sheriff. Derric has a secret that no one on Whidbey Island knows. Derric and Becca form an un-severable bond. Becca is convinced that she's the only person who can truly help him, and just maybe Derric can convince Becca that life is too short to live on the run.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Believing the Lie:

'George packs her novels with complex characters leading complicated lives: the joy is in seeing Inspector Lynley politely ferreting out and exposing the secrets they've kept hidden from the world.' - The Australian Woman's Weekly

An American who writes mysteries as British as Marmite, George has some classic chestnuts In her 17th Inspector Lynley novel... Once again George creates a dense twisty plot with characters who reveal the sad spectrum of human dereliction.**** - Who Weekly

As always George juggles her many characters with consummate ease, slowly and deftly peeling back the layers to reveal deep, dark secrets most of which have absolutely nothing to do with the case but have everything to do with making for a ripping yarn. A brilliant read. And that's the truth. - Herald Sun
