Publisher Comments:

Jack is a pretty average kid — until the night that changes his life forever. That is the night men in masks break into his house, threaten Jack and his family, and then ransack their home. It is that same night that Jack discovers that his father has been arrested for drug trafficking and that he is the reason why these men have come into their lives. Jack, his mother, and his sister are then forced to enter the Witness Security Program. Jack becomes ?Zach? and moves to Elko, Nevada, a town in the middle of nowhere. There he meets Sam, the strangest school custodian he has ever encountered, and Catalin, a girl who might make Zach?s uprooting worth the trouble. But just as Zach finally begins to piece together a new life, he finds out that the dangerous men have tracked them down again. And if they are found, it will be more than their secret identities that will be destroyed.

The book Zach's Lie is an outstanding thriller. It begins when masked men threaten the Osbourne family with their lives in order to get to Mr. Osbourne. We later find out that Mr. Osbourne is in federal custody for drug trafficing. Knowing the dangers of the Kingpin, the FBI immediately suggests to put the Osbourne's into the witness protection program. From there it is a hunt for the Osbourne's, now known as the Granger's. Will the Granger's remain annonymous and safe? Or will they be captured by the drug lords? This suspense filled book will keep you on the edge of you seat wanting more.
