A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'Destined to be a success around the world, for it introduces a character - author Henry Hayden - who is as compelling as Patricia Highsmith's legendary Tom Ripley. A house of mirrors intrigue that ends with a delicious twist. The finest crime novel I have read this year' Daily Mail
From the outside, Henry Hayden has a perfect life: he's a famous novelist with more money than he can spend, a grand house, a smart, loyal wife. But Henry has a dark side. If only the readers and critics who worship his every word knew that his success depends on a carefully maintained lie. One he will stop at nothing to protect.
Then, in thrall to paranoia and self-interest, Henry makes a fatal error that swiftly causes the whole dream to unravel, despite his Machiavellian efforts, as lie is heaped upon lie, menace upon menace. And it turns out that those around him have their secrets too . . .
'Deliciously twisted . . . One can trace the genesis of Henry's character in some of the lovable psychopaths created by Patricia Highsmith. Arango knows how to spin a good story' Sunday Express
'A sharp, dark and slyly witty story . . . Clever entertainment' Daily Telegraph

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Page-turning, dark and with an anti-hero to rival Highsmith's Tom Ripley, international bestseller The Truth and Other Lies will have you gripped, second-guessing the line between truth and fiction.
From the outside, Henry Hayden has a perfect life: he's a famous novelist with more money than he can spend, a grand house in the country, a loyal, clever wife. But Henry has a dark side. If only the readers and critics who worship his every word knew that his success depends on a carefully maintained lie. One he will stop at nothing to protect.
His luck must surely run out, and he simply can't allow that to happen. In thrall to paranoia and self-interest, Henry makes a fatal error that could cause the whole dream to unravel and, despite his Machiavellian efforts, events swiftly spin out of control as lie is heaped upon lie, menace upon menace. And it turns out that those around him have their secrets too . . .
