It's September 22, 1928, Jack Pool's sixteenth birthday. Unfortunately, he's about to be accused of murder.
A talented cellist with a promising future, Jack daydreams about two things: leaving his isolated village of Massena, New York, to become a professional musician and kissing Emaline Durham—a Gentile girl he knows he can never be with.
But when Emaline's little sister, Daisy, disappears in Paradise Woods, a seething lie turns Jack's world into a living nightmare.
Inspired by true events, The Blood Lie sheds light on a dark but little-known episode in American history: the day a town's veiled prejudices erupted into a raging blood libel.
"A powerful—and poignant—reminder that no person can live freely until all people can live freely."—Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author of Shine
