Burning Justice
“I said later to Artemis as I told him about my visit to Nathan Barrows.
At least I thought he was lying. The thing was he had seemed sincere, but maybe he was just a good actor.

It turned out her suspicions were correct—maybe my internal lie detector was out of whack and I couldn’t tell who was lying and who wasn’t anymore.
“I can’t believe Lexy mentioned those tickets for the tri...p to the husband,” Artemis chuckled. “She is quite sly.”
