“Bad Liar” is Tami Hoag’s latest novel. A body dumped on the end of a lonely country road is not the way sheriff’s detective Nick Fourcade wants to start his week. The victim’s face and hands have been obliterated by a shotgun blast. His only lead takes him to the family of a hometown hero who has gone missing. Meanwhile sheriff’s detective Annie Broussard has a meeting with a mother of a recovering drug addict who has been missing for eight days. It is not clear if either man is the victim, and a twisting trail leads deep into the Louisiana swamp endangering all who cross the path of a bad liar. “Bad Liar” is also available in Libby.
