“This is brilliant writing… sharp and taut and a pleasure to read. If literary fiction can ever be described as a page-turner, this is it.” — The Madrid Review
Nine people. One conference room. Too many lies.
On a snow-covered Monday morning, nine colleagues file out of a meeting and someone walks away with something that isn't theirs.
A notebook.
It belongs to Sloane — their boss — and inside it are her unfiltered thoughts about every one of them.
What follows is a quiet unraveling. As the search moves through the office, the carefully maintained surfaces begin to give way. Ambitions, resentments, fears, and calculations come into view — the private thoughts no one intends to share.
Everyone has a reason to want that notebook.
Everyone has something to lose.
Told through shifting perspectives and laced with fragments of art, philosophy, and private observation, Biography of Deception is a sharp literary mystery about identity, performance, and the stories we tell — about others, and about ourselves.
For readers of The Secret History, Atonement, and Trust by Hernan Diaz.

Some are strategic.
