The Lying Game

RUTH WARE

Publication: Harvill Secker, 2017, London

First edition. As new, unread in dust jacket. The text message arrives in the small hours of the night. It’s just three words: I need you. Isa drops everything, takes her baby daughter and heads straight to Salten. She spent the most significant days of her life at boarding school on the marshes there, days which still cast their shadow over her. At school Isa and her three best friends used to play the Lying Game. They competed to convince people of the most outrageous stories. Now, after seventeen years of secrets, something terrible has been found on the beach. Something which will force Isa to confront her past together with the other three women. Salten isn't a safe place for them, not after what they did.
