Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven's brother killed their parents and twin sisters.

Since then Cyrus has devoted his life as a forensic psychologist to understanding why people commit terrible crimes.

Now Elias is being released from his psychiatric hospital, and Cyrus must decide if he's ready to trust the man who destroyed his childhood.

His friend Evie Cormac, who has a gift for knowing when people are lying, isn't so sure.

And as they seek the truth behind a double abduction case, past and present collide - with devastating consequences . . .

Michael Robotham can't write a bad book. This is one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down
STEPHEN KING
Compulsively readable. As always, Michael Robotham builds his nail-biter around damaged people who only want to do what's right
LINWOOD BARCLAY
Thoughtful . . . it isn't easy to maintain a balance between two such different plot strands, but Robotham does it brilliantly
SUNDAY TIMES
Exactly the sort of thriller that pins you to your seat until you've finished it: a proper heart-pounding mystery with unforgettable characters and compelling twists
JANE CASEY
Michael Robotham never lets you down and Lying Beside You is yet further proof that he is one of the most accomplished thriller writers in the world right now. Superbly paced, intricately plotted and packed with characters that leap off the page. Simply sensational
