About The Best Lies
Leo Balanoff is a crusading attorney with unthinkable skeletons in his closet. He's also a diagnosed pathological liar. What could go wrong? A lot. A lot could go wrong.

The FBI gives him an ultimatum--go to prison for life or work undercover to help them climb the ladder to catch the rest of the ruthless syndicate. His situation seems hopeless.
