ReviewsPraise for Believing the Lie : "A multiplicity of subplots and a richness of physical detail...The terrain and the weather are objective correlatives to the characters' stormy patches. Meanwhile, the story strands are untied and retied in satisfying and often moving ways." - The Wall Street Journal "Elizabeth George is a superstar of the crime-fiction world, British Inspector Division. Deservedly so: Her tails always provide nuanced character studies and insights into social issues along with their intricate mysteries." - The Seattle Times "Devilishly complicated." - Entertainment Weekly "A dense, twisty plot with characters who reveal the sad spectrum of human dereliction." - People "George's...ability to continually enhance the portraits of Lynley, Havers, and other recurring characters while generating fully fleshed new ones for each novel is nothing less than superlative, and her atmospheric prose, complete with lovely and detailed descriptions of her setting, combines to add literary gravitas to her work....A worthy addition to her portfolio and one that simultaneously disturbs and satisfies." - Richmond Times-Dispatch "This is one of her best." Daily American on Believing the Lie "George's many fansâ€¦will be thrilled with this new episode in the lives of her lovable cast of characters." Library Journal on Believing the Lie " Believing the Lie is so fascinating that even at a thundering 606 pages, I wished for at least 10 more." Mystery Scene on Believing the Lie "A worthy addition to her portfolio and one that simultaneously disturbs and satisfies." Richmond Times Dispatch on Believing the Lie "George is a master of interweaving character perspectives to reveal her mysteries" Sheknows.com on Believing the Lie "George's strengths--character development, plot twists and shocking tragedy--continue to shine." Shelf Awareness on Believing the Lie "A book of twists, turns and, to be blunt, fantastic writingâ€¦A complete A+ for the mystery realm." Suspense Magazine on Believing the Lie "A page-turning plot." World Magazine on Believing the Lie "[Lynley is] one of the great character portraits in contemporary crime fiction." The Boston Globe

Synopsis#1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George offers the latest in her Inspector Lynley series: a gripping child-in-danger story featuring fan favorite Barbara Havers. Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can't really help--Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn't on Hadiyyah's, their daughter's, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold. Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police are investigating, and the Yard won't get involved, until Barbara takes matters into her own hands. As she attempts to navigate the complicated waters of doing anything for the case against her superior's orders, her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, is dispatched to Italy as the liaison between the Italian police and Hadiyyah's distraught parents. In time, both Barbara and Lynley discover that the case is far more complex than just a kidnapping, revealing secrets about Angelina; her new lover, Lorenzo; and even Azhar--secrets Barbara may not be willing to accept. With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most and how far she's willing to go to protect it.
