Liar

About the Book

A gripping combination of history, tragedy and horror, this novel by Rebecca Grayson is based on truth - the life story of a man convicted of killing his family in Texas in 1926, and sentenced to die in the electric chair. Beyond the ten bodies discovered in a root cellar on Christmas Eve, he confessed to at least three prior murders.

Filled with richly drawn and ultimately heartbreaking characters, LIAR is the saga of a man hardened by abuse and brutality, who killed to protect himself without a single thought of the consequences of his actions. It is about a way of life, broken promises, prejudice, and betrayal.

A fresh approach to the True Crime genre, LIAR is an extraordinary reading experience.

Jeff Bryce was Rebecca’s. A child cannot comprehend grownup things, most of all, a father slaughtering his family.
