My husband asked me to lie. Not a big lie. He probably didn't even
consider it a lie, and neither did I, at first . . . A thrilling
debut novel for fans of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng about how far
we'll go to protect our families, and our deepest secrets WINNER OF
THE EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL BY AN AMERICAN AUTHOR In rural
Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment
device known as the Miracle Submarine: a pressurized oxygen chamber
that patients enter for "dives", used as an alternative therapy for
conditions including autism or infertility. But when the Miracle
Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic
murder trial upends the Yoos' small community. Who or what caused
the explosion? Was it the mother of one of the patients, who
claimed to be sick that day but was smoking down by the creek? Or
was it Young and Pak themselves, hoping to cash in on a big
insurance payment and send their daughter to college? The ensuing
trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night - trysts in the
woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse charges - as well as tense
rivalries and alliances among a group of people driven to
extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice. 'Engrossing . .
. Miracle Creek turns a courtroom murder trial into a page-turning
exploration of parenting, experimental therapies, and the emotional
toil of immigration' Elle 'A marvel, a taut courtroom thriller that
ultimately tells the most human story imaginable, a story of good
intentions and reckless passions. Compelling, generous, at once
empathetic and unsparing . . . the perfect novel for these chaotic
times in which we live' Laura Lippman 'Kim has written a bold debut
novel about science and immigration and the hopes and fears each
engenders - unforgettable and true' Alexander Chee 'Grabbed me hard
right from the start. This is a terrific courtroom thriller, a sly
whodunit that's beautifully written and also full of heart' Scott
Turow
