The Lie Maker

More about the book

In this fast-paced thriller, a man embarks on a desperate quest to locate his father, who was placed in witness protection years ago, before his enemies can reach him. Jack Givins recalls the haunting words of his father, who left him and his mother to cope with the aftermath of his violent past. Now an adult, Jack struggles as a writer, living off modest royalties from his first book. When the U.S. Marshals approach him with an enticing offer to create false identities for those in witness protection—like his father—Jack sees a potential opportunity to reconnect. However, he soon discovers that his father has not been in contact with his handlers, raising concerns about his safety. Jack realizes he might be the only one capable of finding him, but this task is complicated by the fact that he barely knows the man, who has a history of violence and dangerous enemies. As Jack navigates this perilous journey, he must confront the dark legacy of his father's past and the threats that could put his own life at risk.
