Good Girl, Bad Girl

fullDescription

From the internationally bestselling author who Stephen King calls "an absolute master," a "gripping and eerie" (Karin Slaughter) thriller about a dangerous young woman with the ability to know when someone is lying—and the criminal psychologist who must outwit her to survive.
A girl is discovered hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a terrible crime. Half-starved and filthy, she won't tell anyone her name, or her age, or where she came from. Maybe she is twelve, maybe fifteen. She doesn't appear in any missing persons file, and her DNA can't be matched to an identity. Six years later, still unidentified, she is living in a secure children's home with a new name, Evie Cormac. When she initiates a court case demanding the right to be released as an adult, forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven must determine if Evie is ready to go free. But she is unlike anyone he's ever met—fascinating and dangerous in equal measure.

Meanwhile, Cyrus is called in to investigate the shocking murder of a high school figure-skating champion, Jodie Sheehan, who died on a lonely footpath close to her home. Pretty and popular, Jodie is portrayed by everyone as the ultimate girl-next-door, but as Cyrus peels back the layers, a secret life emerges—one that Evie Cormac, the girl with no past, knows something about. A man haunted by his own tragic history, Cyrus is caught between the two cases—one girl who needs saving and another who needs justice. What price will he pay for the truth?

Emotionally explosive and swiftly paced, this is an "impeccable thriller with a plot that encompasses murder, incest, drugs, abuse, torture, sex—you name it, this book has it" (New York Journal of Books).

     Starred review from May 27, 2019
     Two major cases preoccupy forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven, the hero of this haunting psychological thriller from Edgar finalist Robotham (The Secrets She Keeps). First, the Nottingham, England, police have enlisted him in their effort to catch the killer of 15-year-old Jodie Sheehan, British junior figure skating champion. Second, Cyrus has to assess the fitness of a troubled but achingly vulnerable teenage girl for release from a high-security children’s home. Six years earlier, the media dubbed her Angel Face when she was discovered abused and malnourished hiding inside a north London house, where the body of a murder victim had been found a few weeks before. She now goes by the court-given alias of Evie Cormac, since she has steadfastly refused to reveal her true identity or age. Despite Jodie and Evie’s obvious differences, they are sisters under the skin in many respects. Beneath Jodie’s sparkly princess persona, Cyrus learns, were a host of very adult problems. To succeed, Cyrus must tease out the secrets Jodie may have died for—as well as some of those that could still get Evie killed. Robotham expertly raises the tension as the action hurtles toward the devastating climax. Readers will hope the complex Cyrus will return for an encore. Agent: Richard Pine, Inkwell Management.

     June 1, 2019
     Troubled psychologist Cyrus Haven has to evaluate a girl without a past while finding out who killed a rising young figure skater. Evie Cormac is an enigma. No one knew who she was when she was found in a secret room in a north London home, weighing less than a child half her age, which was determined to be 11 or 12. Only a few feet from her hiding place was the decomposing body of a man who had been tortured to death. Given a new name, she ended up in Nottingham's Langford Hall, a high security children's home, after a series of foster homes. Now, six years later, she's eager to be declared an adult, so Cyrus must evaluate her for possible release. Evie is rude, unruly, self-destructive, prone to occasional violence, heartbreakingly naïve, and very, very broken. She also seems to be able to tell, with remarkable consistency, when someone is lying. This intrigues Cyrus, who wrote a thesis on human lie detectors, aka "truth wizards." When Cyrus makes an impulsive choice to temporarily foster Evie, it brings a basket of challenges to his already complicated life. Meanwhile, Cyrus is assisting his mentor, Chief Inspector Lenny Parvel, in the investigation of the suspicious death and possible rape of 15-year-old Jodie Sheehan, who was called the "golden girl of British skating." Some shocking revelations lead Cyrus and the police down a rabbit hole of dark family secrets, and Evie can't help but involve herself in the investigation. It's the careful and often poignant interplay between Cyrus and Evie that elevates this consistently stellar yarn. Cyrus' parents and sisters were murdered when he was just a boy, and by all accounts Evie's childhood was nothing short of a hellscape. Trauma unites them, but Robotham (The Secrets She Keeps, 2017, etc.) seeks to show that together, they might begin to heal. Readers will adore the brilliant hot mess that is Evie, and more than a few moments are breathtakingly sad, such as Evie's confusion about her wrinkly fingers during a long bath...because she's never in her life had one. Robotham is a master plotter at the top of his form, and readers will surely hope to see more of his complicated new characters.

     Starred review from June 1, 2019
     Evie Cormac, in her late teens, has been in a child-care institution for six years after being found hiding in a house with the corpse of a brutally murdered man; she's now considered a danger to herself and others. Jodie Sheehan, 15, a golden girl and a British junior figure-skating champion, is found dead in the Nottingham woods, partially undressed with semen on her leg and in her hair. Psychologist Cyrus Haven is asked by a colleague to look at Evie's case, then called to consult with police on Jodie's murder, as the question of which is the good girl and which the bad starts to shift. Trying to unearth Evie's past, Haven verifies that the girl is a truth wizard, able to tell when someone is lying, a gift that she considers a curse. (Haven has his own tragic past: at the age of 13, he was the sole survivor when his mentally ill older brother killed their parents and two sisters.) Meanwhile, the Sheehan family investigation points the way to deceit and dysfunction, as finally revealed in an explosive conclusion. This sensitive, suspenseful mystery firmly establishes Robotham (The Secrets She Keeps, 2017) in the top ranks of psychological-thriller writers. And it cries out for a sequel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
