Paul will stop at nothing to prove himself worthy of their friendship, because with Julian life is more invigorating than Paul could ever have imagined.
Paul sees Julian as his sole intellectual equal-an ally against the conventional world he finds so suffocating. When he meets the worldly Julian in his freshman ethics class, Paul is immediately drawn to his classmate’s effortless charm.
Sensitive, insecure, and incomprehensible to his grieving family, Paul feels isolated and alone. When Paul enters university in early 1970s Pittsburgh, it’s with the hope of moving past the recent death of his father. The Secret History meets Lie with Me in Micah Nemerever's compulsively readable debut novel-a feverishly taut Hitchcockian story about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence.
