"Liars" [HARDCOVER] a novel (Suspense thriller) AUTOGRAPHED COPY

    Jake & Kevin---longtime friends since college--reunite after 16 years apart---unexpectedly as newfound neighbors; as past is prologue, and it doesn't take long before Kevin asks a favor of Jake, of which, then or since, he can't say no.

     A quid pro quo, pro Bro.

    Jake's wife Kiernan, and their two children Summer and Chase, along with Kevin's wife Daliah, in all, become collateral damage in Kevin's diabolical pursuits to keep secrets from his wife, but the babysitter Neesha has overheard everything; that quid pro quo, pro Bro, she tells Kiernan.

   Quickly---the "gilded cage of marriage," albeit from a "Theory of Mind" perch---flashbacks 10 years ago and back again to the present-day to disclose spousal and child abuse, two missing persons' reports, and depictions of Jake  confined behind bars in a Vermont county jail.

     THe truth herefrom amid the lies reveals "blood isn't always thicker than water," especially whilst one loves someone else beyond their control...or because they are liars.
