The best lies you tell your friends. The worst lies you tell yourself.
In country stores and diners, old men gather over breakfast and coffee to swap tall tales. The fish are bigger, danger greater, and adventures wilder in the stories told at a Liars’ Table. No harm in stretching the truth when nothing exciting happens in their small town.
Until someone steals Purvis Webb’s car. Life is hard enough. A wife in a nursing home. An estranged daughter. A grandson he didn’t know existed.

In this rich, layered story about life spinning out of control, past and present entwine seamlessly with engaging characters. The reader will be eagerly flipping the pages to see what happens next.
Reader Reviews
Memorable characters, a wonderful depiction of life in a small town, and the friendships that develop
The book pulls you in and you have to keep flipping pages to find out what happens next.
A story of family, friends, and what you are willing to risk to save them.
I couldn’t stop reading it. When I had to step away from it I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Realistic, multi dimensional characters I will long remember, and a plot that has many twists and turns, both in the mystery of the car theft, and the story of Purvis himself.
