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. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Myth was just the standard beautiful (of course), mysterious (of course), brilliant (of course) lawyer (of course). She didn’t mean much to me either. I was fully prepared for her to either be the villain or the saint. She turned out to be a manipulative saint. The real villain of the piece was Ken’s best friend. The same one who ‘stole’ Ken’s wife away from him. He helped the embezzler move the money.
The one interesting person was Hound Dog, a “scanner geek” who spends her nights trolling for interesting crimes to photograph. Other than the fact that she rode a Harley, she was likeable and interesting. Her boyfriend was shot in the course of events and when he was in the hospital and she was agonizing, it felt genuine and right. I was happy when he pulled through.
