Once a Liar

By A.F. Brady

Book Overview

In this electrifying psychological thriller, a high-powered sociopath meets his reckoning when he's accused of the brutal murder of his mistress.

Did he kill Charlie Doyle? And if he didn't...who did?

Peter Caine, a cutthroat Manhattan defense attorney, worked ruthlessly to become the best at his job. On the surface, he is charming and handsome, but inside he is cold and heartless. He fights without remorse to acquit murderers, pedophiles and rapists.

When Charlie Doyle, the daughter of the Manhattan DA--and Peter's former lover--is murdered, Peter's world is quickly sent into a tailspin. He becomes the prime suspect as the DA, a professional enemy of Peter's, embarks on a witch hunt to avenge his daughter's death, stopping at nothing to ensure Peter is found guilty of the murder.

In the challenge of his career and his life, Peter races against the clock to prove his innocence. As the evidence mounts against him, he's forced to begin unraveling his own dark web of lies and confront the sins of his past. But the truth of who killed Charlie Doyle is more twisted and sinister than anyone could have imagined...

Customer Reviews

not worth the time

This book is written in "Now" and "Then" chapters. Peter is a remorseless, uncaring, lying lawyer. Groomed to take over a law firm, trying to pretend he cares about his wife, x wife, & son. He's implicated in a murder & there's too much information the author has to keep you guessing on if he's guilty or not. Book was too long with too many dead ends. It was a keep guessing but I felt let down in the end.
