The Lie Maker

The Lie Maker by Linwood Barclay is a twisty, fast-paced thriller about secrets, witness protection, family betrayal, and the dangerous search for a father who vanished years ago. Jack Givins was only a boy when his father told him a terrible truth — that he had killed people — before disappearing into witness protection and leaving Jack and his mother behind.

Years later, Jack is a struggling writer when the U.S. Marshals offer him unusual work: creating false histories for people in witness protection. The job seems like a strange coincidence until Jack realizes it may be his only chance to find his missing father. But his father has lost contact with his handlers, and dangerous enemies may be closing in.

Suspenseful and full of twists, The Lie Maker is a strong choice for readers who enjoy crime thrillers, family secrets, witness protection stories, and page-turning suspense.
