Liar Liar : Book 1

When you've lost the trust of everyone around you, where do you turn?

Once hailed as Liverpool’s finest detective, Dan Butler brought a serial killer to justice and earned the city’s admiration. But when it’s revealed he falsified evidence in past cases, his legacy is shattered – and so is his life.

Now disgraced and spiralling, Butler wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of the last 24 hours… and a dead body beside him.

The evidence says he did it. His instincts say otherwise.

Hunted by the force he once served, Butler must uncover the truth – not just to clear his name, but to survive. Because someone wants him silenced, and they’ll stop at nothing to finish what they started…

A gripping thriller where the hunter becomes the hunted – perfect for fans of dark twists, morally complex heroes, and relentless suspense.
