Summary and Study Guide
Overview
Written by A. R. Torre, The Good Lie is a psychological crime thriller novel that focuses on the efforts to stop a serial killer who targets and murders teenage boys in Los Angeles. When one victim escapes and accuses a local high school teacher of being the killer, the case is seemingly solved, but one of the victims’ fathers, defense attorney Robert Kavin, is convinced of the teacher’s innocence. He enlists the help of Dr. Gwen Moore, a psychiatrist specializing in criminal behavior, to create a psychological profile of the killer and to help clear the teacher’s name.
