Dan Russell's Lies We Choose to Believe is gripping and raw, and it moves like a freight train. The prose is spare and sharp, and the atmosphere trembles with tension. Booze and history and music whirlpool around Tuddy, a character I won't soon forget. There's an intense urgency to what Russell's doing in this explosive and gritty novel. Folks, this is the good stuff.
-William Boyle, author of Saint of the Narrows Street
Dan Russell's Lies We Choose to Believe is full of crisp prose capturing the complexities of the rural south in the context of present-day America with a rare raw tenderness. His plot, and the characters that drive it, get under your skin, bore into your mind, then refuse to leave. His work shines alongside contemporary southern writers like David Joy and Eli Cranor, with a nod to those great southern grit legends now gone-Brown, Crews, and Gay.
-JD Clapp, author of A Good Man Goes South and Poachers and Pills
When his father is brutally murdered, Jacob Tuddy is thrust into a whirlwind of grief and disbelief. As he struggles to understand the tragedy, he begins to uncover painful truths about his father, his past, and the people he thought he could trust.
When the investigation stalls and the answers he desperately needs slip further away, Jacob takes matters into his own hands. Driven by grief and anger, he embarks on a search for the truth, digging deeper into the life his father led and the secrets of his seemingly peaceful hometown.
With each layer of the past that is peeled back, Jacob must face the terrifying reality that the people he loves-and the life he thought he knew-are not what they seem. Lies We Choose to Believe is a haunting exploration of faith, identity, and the cost of buried secrets. As Jacob is forced to confront the lies that have shaped his family's past, he discovers that the truth he's been seeking may be more dangerous than he ever imagined.
