The Second Lie

A child in danger. A town in trouble.


People in Chandler, Ohio say it's small-town America at its best.

They say big-city problems don't happen here. THEY'RE WRONG.

That's why psychologist Kelly Chapman is so concerned about 14-year-old Maggie Winston. She's a straight A studen who's developed a sudden interest in an older man. A man she knows only as Mac.

Deputy Samantha Jones, Kelly's longtime friend, is worried, too. She has been ever since a respected local businessman killed his wife and then himself. Since one kid was caught selling drugs to another. Since the discovery of a mysterious chemical dump on Kyle Evan's farm. Kyle, her former fiance and current lover...

Are all these things connected? That's what Sam and Kelly are beginning to think. And that means someone in Chandler is lying.
