The Book of Lies [antikvár]

PROLOGUENineteen years ago Miami, FloridaWhen Calvin Harper was five, his petite, four-foot-eleven-inch mom ripped the pillow from his bed at three a.m. and told him that dust mites were feeding off his skin. "We need to wash it. Now!'' On that night, his mom seemed to change into someone else,^s if she were possessed by some ghost or devil or demon.His dad told Calvin it was one of Mommy's "bad days." The doctors had a name for it, too. Bipolar.When Calvin was seven, his mom called home with a cheery slur in her voice (the demon loved a good drink) to proudly tell him she had carved Calvin's initials in her arm. When Calvin was eight and she was in a drunken rage, she took the family dog to the pound and "accidentally" had him put down. The demon liked laughs.But none of those nights prepared Calvin for this one.
