From an Edgar Award winner, this abduction story is "a compulsive page turner that will have readers cheering on the decidedly unglamorous heroine" (Kirkus Reviews). Dorrie White should be content with her life. She has a steady job, a loving husband. But Dorrie also has a secret-one that has caught up with her. When she was a teenager in high school, Dorrie got pregnant and put her baby up for adoption. When she discovers her daughter, Juliet, lives nearby, she can't help but keep tabs on the girl. But the maternal urge to be close to her child turns into every mother's nightmare when, right before Dorrie's eyes, Juliet is abducted at a suburban shopping mall, forced into a van that quickly drives away. Stricken, Dorrie does the only thing any mother would: she goes after her. Only to put herself at the mercy of a psychopath, sending her devoted husband on a desperate search to bring her home again. As Dorrie and Juliet struggle together to survive captivity, Dorrie is forced to confront her own dark past. "A fast-paced, edge of your seat thriller." -Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times-bestselling author of The Overnight Guest "A darkly riveting read . . . Compelling." -Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times-bestselling author of The Other Family "A truly unique and fascinating heroine." -Alison Gaylin, USA Today-bestselling author of And She Was.… (más)

Dark Lie is a quick read mixing elements of mystery, psychological suspense, and religious fanaticism. Springer's narrative seamlessly alternates through Dorrie's past and present while including the perspective of her husband Sam, and Sissy Chappell, a young black police woman and handwriting expert, who is the only one realizing just how much trouble Dorrie and her daughter are facing. The horror of Dorrie's story is a convincing one in Springer's capable hands, and the result a startling page-turner. Recommended. ( )
