Liars' Table, Paperback/D. K. Wall

The best lies you tell your friends. The worst lies you tell yourself. In country stores and diners, old men gather over breakfast and coffee to swap tall tales. The fish are bigger, danger greater, and adventures wilder in the stories told at a Liars' Table . No harm in stretching the truth when nothing exciting happens in their small town. Until someone steals Purvis Webb's car. Life is hard enough. A wife in a nursing home. An estranged daughter. A grandson he didn't know existed. Unable to accept one more indignity, Purvis takes matters into his own hands. His pursuit of the thief leads him to places he never thought he'd go and to decisions he never wanted to have to make. In this rich, layered story about life spinning out of control, past and present entwine seamlessly with engaging characters. The reader will be eagerly flipping the pages to see what happens next.
