    Arthur Ellis award–winning William Deverell’s 2003 bestseller
    		 
    In Mind Games, William Deverell returns to the intriguing territory of the law and lawyers and of human psychology and motivation, and he does so in familiar Deverell sur­roundings: the streets, courtrooms, and waters of Vancouver.
    		 
    Dr. Tim Dare is a forensic psychiatrist whose life is in a mess: his wife has just left him to find herself; his mother is being sued for libel by a small-town mayor over a mystery novel; he’s been made the monitor of a man just out of psychiatric hospital, a man he considers a psychopathic murderer; he’s being hauled before a disciplinary committee for “misplacing” a file; one of his patients is “transferring” feelings to him rather too romantically; and now someone’s threatening to kill him. He can’t even get into an elevator without falling apart. No wonder he thinks he needs to see a shrink himself. Under the guidance of fellow psychiatrist Dr. Allison Epstein, Dare gradually learns how to face the demons within — and those in the real world that are really out to get him.

    Everyone's hiding something in Alder Vale. And some secrets are worth killing for . . .  
     
    Six years ago, a lavish party in the woods behind an English country estate ended in the death of Dominic Rayner—the golden boy heir to a powerful aristocratic family. It was ruled a tragic accident. But the guests who were there that night have never recovered, while the truth remained buried. 
     
    Now, Tatum—Dominic's beautiful, manipulative ex—is back in town with a young son and an agenda. She's blackmailing the family patriarch, running from her past, and threatening to upend everything the elite village of Alder Vale has worked so hard to keep quiet. 
     
    As whispers spread, old wounds reopen. A missing phone. A drunken confession. Another body . . .  
    And beneath the manicured lawns and polite smiles, something much darker is crawling to the surface. Because the truth isn't just ugly. It's lethal. 
     
    Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Jewell, Lie To Me is a chilling psychological thriller about buried secrets, fractured friendships, and what happens when the lies we live by are finally exposed.
