Hi, Tara. Can you tell us about The Second Lie?

The Second Lie is the story of mid-America small town life. It's a story that is larger than life, but gripped in realism. It's the second book in The Chapman Files, a series of books centered around expert witness psychologist, Kelly Chapman. Each of the Chapman Files is one of her cases. The Second Lie is more than a case to Kelly. It involves one of her clients, fourteen-year-old Maggie Winston, who Kelly fears is on the verge of a relationship with a possible pedophile. And it involves a woman Kelly grew up with, Sheriff's Deputy Samantha Jones. The Second Lie involves Kelly's hometown, Chandler, Ohio. Samantha suspects that someone is running a meth superlab in Chandler. Samantha's peers think she's lost her edge. Samantha believes that there's a connection between Maggie's activities, the meth lab, and the man Samantha is sleeping with. Kelly hopes her friend is wrong. But one thing is clear... someone in Chandler is lying.
