Half The Lies You Tell Are True by C. P. Wilson
An unsettling, dark psychological thriller from the author of Ice Cold Alice.
In a world where internet rumour becomes real-world fact, do we ever really know anyone?
High school teacher Dougie Black is brutally attacked in school. Stabbed in front of his class by a pupil with no apparent motive, Dougie fights for his life in ICU whilst DS Lewis Gilmour attempts to unravel the events leading up to the attack.
As the doctors struggle to save Dougie’s life, social media is rife with rumours about his private life. Mr Black’s friends and family begin to question everything they thought they knew about him.
Who is Dougie Black? Why did a child attempt to murder him? How did so many years of lies lead to an horrific moment of violence?
Half The Lies You Tell Are True, is a dark glimpse at what social media has done to our integrity and our perception of each other. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror and Gone Girl.
