Fake ID

Lamar Giles takes readers on a wild and dark ride in this contemporary Witness Protection thriller, perfect for fans of James Patterson, Harlan Coben, and John Grisham. Nick Pearson is hiding in plain sight. In fact, his name isn't really Nick Pearson. He shouldn't tell you his real name, his real hometown, or why his family just moved to Stepton, Virginia. And he definitely shouldn't tell you about his friend Eli Cruz and the major conspiracy Eli was uncovering when he died. About how Nick had to choose between solving Eli's murder with his hot sister, Reya, and "staying low-key" like the Program said to do. But he's going to tell you—unless he gets caught first. . . . Conspiracy Thriller: Eli was dead. The official story is a lie. In a town where everyone has a secret, Nick is the only one who can expose the truth about the government experiment codenamed Whispertown. Teen Detective: The Program demands he stay invisible. But to solve his friend's murder, Nick has to risk exposing his own identity and becoming the next target. Secrets and Lies: Nick's whole life is a lie. But he's about to discover his own family secrets are more dangerous than the criminals they're hiding from. Romantic Subplot: He's investigating her brother's murder. She's the only one he can trust. Getting close to Reya is the biggest risk of all.
