About this title

From the Author

When I set out to write Difficult Lies, I wanted to write a book that spanned genders and interests. If you look at my novel as a bus, golf is the engine that drives it, but you don't have to be mechanically inclined to enjoy the comfortable interior and the passengers who populate the vehicle. Getting your hands dirty in the engine bay (the golf course) is there for those who enjoy that pursuit, but you can savor the ride without understanding internal combustion.
