The Lying Kind by Alison James

The Lying Kind by Alison James

The little girl stirred and opened her eyes. A light from the landing played a shadow across her toy cupboard. It was then she realised... There was someone else in the room.

Six-year-old Lola Jade Harper has gone missing from her bedroom on a safe, suburban street.

Her mother says her ex-husband has stolen their daughter. Lola's father denies it was him.

Family, friends and neighbours all say they didn't see a thing. But someone must know where the little girl is. Who is lying? And who is telling the truth?

Detective Rachel Prince knows the longer a child is unaccounted for, the less likely they are to be found alive.

The clock is ticking. It's up to Rachel to find Lola Jade, before it's too late.
And then another little girl is taken...

Truly addictive from start to finish, The Lying Kind is a nail-bitingly tense crime thriller by one of the best new voices in crime fiction. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Peter James and Karin Slaughter.
