ISBN: 9781616082550.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Holding Lies, John Larison takes us deep into a thriving subculture of the Northwest, one born of ferns and firs, rain and hot-springs, salmon and whitewater. He takes us even deeper into the troubles of Hank Hazelton, a fifty-nine-year-old river guide, as he struggles to reconnect with his daughter after a long estrangement. Before his daughter’s arrival, Hank discovers a drift boat stranded below a rapid, its oarsman missing. Within days, the sheriff has opened a murder investigation, one that to Hank appears more about old grudges than objective evidence. When Hank himself becomes a suspect, he’s forced to confront the violent past of his home valley—and his own culpability. In a novel about finding family in unlikely places, Larison breathes life into a community rich with history, sin, and hope, a place where bears still wander side streets and time is still marked by the seasons of the river. Holding Lies is a taut, big-hearted novel, steeped in the ecology of place and peopled with unforgettable characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Skyhorse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44980739211317,"sku":"ByrdShop_1616082550","price":61.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781616082550_e8c631d5-436c-4115-824e-0880012e944f.jpg?v=1778799191","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/holding-lies-a-novel-9781616082550","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
