In Body of Lies, a car crash victim clings to life and is rushed to hospital but can't be saved. Hours later, her corpse is stolen from the morgue. No one knows who the dead woman was or why her body was taken. Detective Sergeant Gemma Woodstock is back in her hometown of Smithson on maternity leave when the bizarre incident occurs. She is intrigued by the case but reluctant to get involved, despite the urging of her journalist friend Candy Fyfe. But in the days after the body goes missing, the town is rocked by another shocking crime and Gemma can't resist joining the investigation.
Body of Lies is published by Allen & Unwin and can be borrowed digitally from participating libraries in Australia during Together We Read between 22 August to 5 September. The eBook and eAudiobook can be read on all major computers and devices, including iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phones and tablets, Kobo® tablets and eReaders and there are no waiting lists or holds. The title will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no fines for late return.
