    The Liar
    by Nora Roberts

    Shelby Foxworth lost her husband. Then she lost her
    illusions…

    The man who took her from Tennessee to an exclusive
    Philadelphia suburb left her in crippling debt. He was an
    adulterer and a liar, and when Shelby tracks down his
    safe-deposit box, she finds multiple IDs. The man she loved
    wasn’t just dead. He never really existed.

    Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter and heads south to
    seek comfort in her hometown, where she meets someone new:
    Griff Lott, a successful contractor. But her husband had
    secrets she has yet to discover. Even in this small town,
    surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she
    knows—and threatens Griff, as well. And an attempted
    murder is only the beginning...

    Nora Roberts' Bio

    Nora Roberts was born in Silver Spring Maryland, the youngest of five children. After a school career that included some time in Catholic school and the disciplines of nuns, she married young and settled in Keedysville, Maryland. She worked briefly as a legal secretary. "I could type fast but couldn't spell, I was the worst legal secretary ever," she says now. After her sons were born she stayed home and tried every craft that came along. A blizzard in February 1979 forced her hand to try another creative outlet. She was snowed in with a three and six year old with no kindergarten respite in sight and a dwindling supply of chocolate. Born into a family of readers, Nora had never known a time that she wasn't reading or making up stories. During the now famous blizzard, she pulled out a pencil and notebook and began to write down one of those stories. It was there that a career was born. Several manuscripts and rejections later, her first book, Irish Thoroughbred, was published by Silhouette in 1981. Nora met her second husband, Bruce Wilder, when she hired him to build bookshelves. They were married in July 1985. Since that time, they've expanded their home, traveled the world and opened a bookstore together. Through the years, Nora has always been surrounded by men. Not only was she the youngest in her family, but she was also the only girl. She has raised two sons. Having spent her life surrounded by men has given Ms. Roberts a fairly good view of the workings of the male mind, which is a constant delight to her readers. It was, she's been quoted as saying, a choice between figuring men out or running away screaming. Nora is a member of several writers groups and has won countless awards from her colleagues and the publishing industry. Recently The New Yorker called her “America’s favorite novelist.”
