The New York Times bestselling author and International Thriller Writers
"Best Novel" finalist Lisa Unger returns to the dark psychological
suspense that made Beautiful Lies a bestseller around the world.Lana
Granger lives a life of lies. She has told so many lies about where she
comes from and who she is that the truth is like a cloudy nightmare she
can't quite recall. About to graduate from college and with her trust
fund almost tapped out, she takes a job babysitting a troubled boy named
Luke. Expelled from schools all over the country, the manipulative young
Luke is accustomed to controlling the people in his life. But, in Lana,
he may have met his match. Or has Lana met hers? When Lana's closest
friend, Beck, mysteriously disappears, Lana resumes her lying ways--to
friends, to the police, to herself. The police have a lot of questions
for Lana when the story about her where-abouts the night Beck
disappeared doesn't jibe with eyewitness accounts. Lana will do anything
to hide the truth, but it might not be enough to keep her ominous
secrets buried: someone else knows about Lana's lies. And he's dying to
tell. Lisa Unger's writing has been hailed as "sensational" (Publishers
Weekly) and "sophisticated" (New York Daily News), with "gripping
narrative and evocative, muscular prose" (Associated Press). Masterfully
suspenseful, finely crafted, and written with a no-holds-barred raw
power, In the Blood is Unger at her best.
