Help finding a book

Hi, I'm new here. Hope this is the right group.
I read a book in the 90s and cannot remember the title or author.
It's about a man who can always tell if someone is lying. He is broken out of an asylum or prison (can't recall) by a nurse (?) to help prevent an assassination of the president.
A key phrase is; "an unstoppable force meets an immovable object".
Does anyone know this book?

If you could remember character names or even the author's name... That'd be a great help.

Thanks for the help so far - it would be much easier if I could remember a name of a character but unfortunatly not - it was in the 90s that I read it.
Alos, it's not a Baldacci - I've checked through all of his books.

Longshot, but given the length of time since reading and the fact you may have a slightly inaccurate recollection of the story, could it be The Dead Zone by Stephen King?
