SOMEONE KNOWS LANA’S SECRET—AND HE’S DYING TO TELL.
LANA GRANGER LIVES A LIFE OF
LIES. She has told so many lies about where she comes from and who she
is that the truth is like a cloudy nightmare she can’t quite recall.
About to graduate from college and with her trust fund almost tapped
out, she takes a job babysitting a troubled boy named Luke. Expelled
from schools all over the country, the manipulative young Luke is
accustomed to controlling the people in his life. But, in Lana, he may
have met his match. Or has Lana met hers?
When Lana’s closest friend, Beck,
mysteriously disappears, Lana resumes her lying ways—to friends, to the
police, to herself. The police have a lot of questions for Lana when
the story about her whereabouts the night Beck disappeared doesn’t jibe
with eyewitness accounts. Lana will do anything to hide the truth, but
it might not be enough to keep her ominous secrets buried: someone else
knows about Lana’s lies. And he’s dying to tell.
Lisa Unger’s writing has been hailed as “sensational” (Publishers Weekly) and “sophisticated” (New York Daily News),
with “gripping narrative and evocative, muscular prose” (Associated
Press). Masterfully suspenseful, finely crafted, and written with a
no-holds-barred raw power, In the Blood is Unger at her best.
