Deception: A Novel

by Denise Mina

Overview

Things like this don't happen to people like us. That's what Lachlan Harriot thinks as he watches his wife, Susie, led to jail in handcuffs. Yes, Susie, a psychologist, was found covered in blood near the spot where one of her clients appears to have been murdered. But Susie is not a killer, Lachlan thinks. She's my wife. She's our child's mother. Secrets lurk behind closed doors, however, a dark truth made chillingly clear as Lachlan's efforts to prove Susie's innocence uncover an entire secret history—illicit affairs, false identities, unimaginable deception—and this brilliantly acclaimed, page-turning novel speeds toward a conclusion as shocking as it is ingenious.
