Book Summary
The search for truth is no match for the power of
temptation.
They call him the Answer Man. As a lie
detector operator, he's an expert in the science of truth
and the art of lies -- and both are coming in
handy.
Because Ken Parker is in a bad way. His
business isn't making enough to support him and his sick
brother. The repo men are after his MG, and an eviction
notice has been nailed to his door.
Then Myth
Daniels, a slick and beautiful lawyer, offers him a deal:
Teach her client how to beat the polygraph machine and
he'll get $50,000 in cash. But Ken -- more than anyone --
should know the price of dishonesty. As he's drawn deeper
into an explosive game of greed and violence, the question
will be how to stay alive.
And this time, not even
the Answer Man knows.
