The King of Lies

Criminal defense attorney John Hart delivers an extraordinary debut novel that has garnered tremendous critical acclaim and invited favorable comparisons to the work of heavyweights John Grisham and Scott Turow.

North Carolina attorney “Work” Pickens struggles to build a stable career on the emotional wreckage of his personal life. His marriage is cold, his sister is deeply troubled, his mother is dead, and his father has been missing for more than a year. When his father’s corpse is finally discovered, Work becomes a suspect, forcing him to begin a search for answers. But every step that brings him closer to the truth also opens old wounds that are better left alone.

Beautifully written and expertly staged, The King of Lies is a masterful legal thriller that introduces the world to an exciting new talent.
