Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Lies make me sick.I mean, literally. When someone near me says something they know isn’t true, my stomach churns and stabbing pains shoot through my head. If it’s really bad I vomit, or even pass out. As psychic powers go, mine sucks.Sometimes it’s useful, though. Like when my friend Jessie was murdered and all the evidence pointed to our chemistry teacher. I heard him say he didn’t kill her, and I knew he was telling the truth.Of course, the police didn’t believe me. So what choice did I have? Armed with nothing but my built-in lie detector and the help of a few friends, I set out to find Jessie’s real killer.But truth can be complicated. Liars don’t like people who can see through their deceits. And the guilty are dangerous when they fear their crimes will be exposed.None of that mattered, though. I had to get justice for Jessie, whatever the risk.

“Trell is an appealingly gutsy heroine whose belief in her father is strong enough to drag an attorney and a down-on-his-luck journalist into her orbit.” — School Library JournalOn a hot summer night in Boston in the late 1980s, a twelve-year-old African-American girl was sitting on a mailbox talking with her friends when she became the innocent victim of gang-related gunfire. An immediate manhunt was on to catch the murderer, and a young African-American man was quickly apprehended, charged, and — wrongly — convicted of the crime. Dick Lehr, a former reporter for the Boston Globe’s famous Spotlight Team who investigated this case for the newspaper, now turns the story into a page-turning novel about the daughter of an imprisoned man who persuades a reporter and a lawyer to help her prove her father’s innocence.
