Description

The Good Lie is a psychological thriller from A. R. Torre about a serial killer case, a controversial suspect and the dangerous secrets that surface when an investigation begins to unravel.

Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore has spent years studying killers and the motives behind their crimes. Her expertise draws her towards the case of the Bloody Heart Killer, a murderer responsible for the deaths of six teenage boys.

When the latest victim escapes and identifies local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor, the case appears to be solved. The evidence against Thompson is strong, and both the media and Gwen believe the killer is finally behind bars.

Then defence attorney Robert Kavin steps in.

Robert’s own son was one of the Bloody Heart Killer’s victims, yet he is convinced Thompson is innocent. He asks Gwen to interview the accused man, create a psychological profile of the killer and his victims, and help determine whether the wrong person has been arrested.

As Gwen digs deeper into the case and grows closer to Robert, disturbing questions begin to emerge. She starts to suspect that Robert may be hiding something, and that he is far from the only person keeping secrets.
