About Buried Lies

We bury our past to forget but are we burying the truth or lies?"They found a body!" James doesn't try to hide his excitement. "In a wall! It was gross. All shrunken but hair and everything still there. It was mummified."Dr Evans smiles as James flops down in the seat opposite. "You seem a bit excited." Dr Evans smiles again.For 6 weeks, James has been working as a security guard at the Werribee Research Laboratory, guarding the construction site. A quiet, easy job, then a body is found. Enlivened by the discovery, James sets out to identify the man. That's all, he isn't getting involved, isn't going to interfere with the police investigation. He's just interested, he tells himself, nothing more.Trying hard to focus on his mental health and recovering from injuries, sustained after crashing his motorbike, James is determined not to repeat past mistakes, not to let the investigation consume him. But people find him easy to talk to, a confidant to confess to. James is told things he doesn't want to know, things that make it impossible to step away. As he is dragged deeper into the mystery, old demons resurface, forcing him to fight not just others but himself. Has he pushed his luck too far this time? As he protects a murderer, those he loves become targets. What is true and what are lies? Nothing is as it seems, not even James' own memories.
