Good girl, bad girl: a novel

by Michael Robotham · 2019

When a gaunt, half‑starved girl is found hidden in a secret room after a brutal crime, she refuses to reveal her name, age or past. Six years later she lives under the name Evie Cormac in a secure children’s home, but she’s not ordinary—she can sense every lie. As Evie fights a court battle to be released as an adult, forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven is drawn into her world. He must decide whether she’s ready to walk free while also investigating the chilling murder of a teenage figure‑skating champion. In a tense cat‑and‑mouse game where truth is a weapon, Evie’s unsettling gift forces Cyrus to outwit a mind as dangerous as it is fascinating.
