ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Cyrus Haven is a psychologist and a survivor of childhood tragedy. Evie is a damaged teenager he is called in to assess; her past has taught her not to trust anyone, and her ability to read people has only confirmed her deep distrust of the human race. Then a junior champion skater is found murdered, and Cyrus has to fill in the pieces to understand how the girl came to be killed.

As he is pulled into the mysteries of the two separate girls, he finds himself stepping over his professional and personal boundaries to help… A page-turning story, as you would expect from this master of psychological suspense and twisty plots. Robotham always creates believable characters, even when their situations are nothing short of nightmarish, and the reader is assured of a brilliantly involving story! Lindy Jones

"I have always been fascinated by the idea of 'truth wizards' - people who are capable or recognising when someone is telling the truth or not. Where does this ability come from? Is it the product of nature or nurture?" Michael Robotham

The girl with no past.

Six years ago, Evie Cormac was discovered, filthy and half-starved, hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a shocking crime. Now approaching adulthood, Evie is damaged, self-destructive and has never revealed her true identity.

The boy who survived.

Forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven, a man haunted by his own past, is investigating the death of champion figure-skater Jodie Sheehan. When Cyrus is called upon to assess Evie, she threatens to disrupt the case and destroy his ordered life. Because Evie has a unique and dangerous gift - she knows when someone is lying. And nobody is telling the truth.

GOOD GIRL, BAD GIRL is an unnerving psychological thriller from one of the greatest crime writers of today, Michael Robotham, bestselling author of THE OTHER WIFE and THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS.
