Liar

The response to Jan Burke from readers, booksellers, and reviewers has been exuberant from the start -- and just keeps getting better. She is regularly compared to such masters as Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton, and Robert Parker and praised for her "first-rate plotting" (The Washington Times), "crisp, crackling prose" (Library Journal), and deft hand at characterizations. The critics are now saying "Burke is on the fast track" (USA Today) and "on the verge of a breakout to bestsellerdom" (Booklist).This time out, reporter Irene Kelly investigates a murder that hits too close to home, and she is forced to confront long-buried secrets that come to the surface -- and a killer determined to stop her dead in her tracks. The stakes climb high and the suspense never lets up in this riveting thriller that confirms Jan Burke's rightful place alongside today's masters of the genre.

Set for publication just as the paperback edition of Hocus hits stores, Liar should blast Jan Burke right onto the bestseller list.

"With bat-out-of-hell pacing and suspense that will leave your nails ragged...I've always counted on Jan Burke as one of my favorite guilt-free pleasures". -- Janet Evanovich
