A three-story house nestled in the hills outside of Portland, Maine, is the setting for House of Lies. The novel tells of a young woman coming out of her shell and standing up for what she believes in. Myra Webb is just such a person. But her story goes further than that. When Myra goes to work for Ned Granger, a famous industrialist, she gets caught up in intrigue and the supernatural. She also solves the mystery of a room on the third floor of the Grainger house. From the moment Myra asks the hesitant taxi driver to take her to the house for her job interview, she begins to have misgivings. “My goodness,” Myra said as she settled in the back seat. “You act as if the place were haunted.”
