Bad Liar

In the complex world of police work and small-town dynamics, can anyone truly escape the ghosts of the past? Set against the moody, atmospheric backdrop of Louisiana, Bad Liar delves deep into the veneer of community and family ties that hold secrets just below the surface. A chilling murder sets the stage for a haunting investigation, pushing the boundaries of love, loyalty, and deception.

When a murder victim is found dumped at the dead end of a desolate country road, their face and hands obliterated by a shotgun blast, sheriff's detective Nick Fourcade faces a grim start to his week. His investigation leads him to the family of Marc Mercier, a hometown hero celebrated for his hunting prowess, who has mysteriously gone missing over a weekend trip.

As Nick traverses the murky trails of the bayou, another subplot unfolds. Sheriff's detective Annie Broussard, returning to duty after surviving a brutal attack, embarks on her own daunting task. On her first day back, she takes on the case of B'Lynn Fontenot, a distressed mother whose grown son, Robbie Fontenot, a recovering drug addict, has been missing for eight days. With local police dismissive and uninterested in the plight of a missing addict, Annie's decision to help B'Lynn ignites a jurisdictional conflict with city police.

As Annie delves deeper into Robbie's disappearance and Nick untangles the mystery surrounding Marc Mercier, it becomes glaringly evident that both cases are far from straightforward. The question looms: Is either man the unidentified murder victim? Or are there more sinister forces at play? As they peel back the layers of deceit, betrayal, and hidden truths, a complex tapestry of old jealousies, fractured family ties, and wretched love reveals itself.

Venturing deep into the heart of the Louisiana swamp, both detectives find themselves on a perilous path where danger lurks in every shadow and lies entwine with every truth. In Bad Liar, Tami Hoag masterfully weaves a suspenseful tale that will leave you questioning the very nature of trust and the lengths individuals will go to protect their secrets.

Engage in a gripping story filled with relentless twists and turns, where every clue deepens the mystery, and the stakes grow higher with every revelation. Bad Liar is a testament to Tami Hoag's unmatched ability to create thrilling narratives that resonate deeply with human emotions and intricate plot lines.
