This Story Is A Lie

by Tom Pollock

Genre: YA Mystery / Thriller

  Teaser from page 76 in the hardcover.

She stops dead in the middle, and the expression on her face… it’s horror and recognition and desolation and despair. It’s the look of confronting your worst fear and knowing it’s finally come for you, and that you aren’t ready , and you never could be.

This sounds so exictiing and I love the genre. Have you read this one? What did you think?

Synopsis

A YA thriller described as The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time meets John le Carré, about a teen math prodigy with an extreme anxiety disorder who finds himself caught in a web of lies and conspiracies after an assassination attempt on his mother.
Seventeen-year-old Peter Blankman is a math genius. He also suffers from devastating panic attacks. Pete gets through each day with the help of his mother—a famous scientist—and his beloved twin sister, Bel.
But when his mom is nearly assassinated in front of his eyes and Bel disappears, Pete finds himself on the run. Dragged into a world where state and family secrets intertwine, Pete must use his extraordinary analytical skills to find his missing sister and track down the people who attacked his mother. But his greatest battle will be with the enemy inside: the constant terror that threatens to overwhelm him.
Weaving between Pete’s past and present, This Story Is a Lie is a testimony from a protagonist who is brilliant, broken and trying to be brave.

      I love the synopsis and been wanting to read this. The cover you are referring to is published by Gottmer. Not sure if that is Dutch.

    Interesting teaser. Mine is from sort of a light spy thriller, Fields’ Guide to Voodoo My Teaser
