But so does Jean. Fearing the worst, Work launches his own investigation, crossing paths with a power-hungry detective, a string of damning evidence, and the ugly rumors that swirl within his small, moneyed Southern town. Desperate for the redemption that has eluded him for so many years and stripped of everything he once valued, Work fights to save his sister, clear his name, and regain the love of the woman to whom he gave his heart so many years before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eKing of Lies\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe King of Lies \u003c\/i\u003emoves and reads like a book on fire. ---Pat Conroy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding. --\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An] ambitious debut thriller...a gripping performance. --\u003ci\u003ePeople Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompares favorably to the best of Scott Turow --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly \u003c\/i\u003e(starred) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA striking new talent. --\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Hart\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eDown River\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Child\u003c\/i\u003e.
