NOVEL: THE LAST GOOD LIE
Prine Truman Irby lives in the mountains of northeast Washington, where people disappear quietly and truths are buried deeper than bodies. When a local man turns up dead after a plane crash tied to meth makers, Irby gets pulled into a world of family betrayal, missing money, Russian muscle, and dangerous women.
The deeper Irby digs, the more the violence circles back to his own family, especially his sister Denise and the drifting network of addicts, dealers, and lost souls operating around alternative life hippie gatherings hidden in the forests of the Northwest.
At the center of it all is Rich, Irby’s autistic nephew, a boy caught in the wreckage left behind by adults too broken or selfish to protect him. As old debts surface and bodies pile up, Irby is forced to choose between exposing the truth or preserving the only future the boy has left.
Dark, lean, and unsentimental, The Last Good Lie is a story about loyalty, guilt, survival, and the lies people tell themselves to keep living.
This novel explores the fading backroads of rural Intermountain West where morality is rarely clean and redemption comes at a cost.
WHAT THEY SAY
With the publication of The Last Good Lie, Greg Knight now owns the Pacific Northwest like Crumley owned Missoula, Hammett owned San Francisco, and Chandler owned LA. He knows the icy rivers, and freezing rain, the bikers, meth labs, and bad bars. All the seedy mill towns and trashy women drinking alone. Come on in, they’re waiting for you.
—Kent Anderson, author of Sympathy For The Devil and Night Dogs
