The Truth and Other Lies: A Novel

NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

A literary crime thriller with â€œa clever plot that always surprises, told with dark humor and dry witâ€ (The New York Times Book Review, Editorâ€™s Choice), this brilliant debut follows a famous author whose wifeâ€”the brains behind his successâ€”meets an untimely death, leaving him to deal with the consequences.

Henry Hayden seems like someone you might admire, or even come to think of as a friend. A famous bestselling author. A loving and devoted husband. A generous and considerate neighbor. But Henry Hayden is a construction, a mask. His past is a secret, his methods more so. Only he and his wife know that she is the actual writer of the novels that made him famous.

When his hidden-in-plain-sight mistress becomes pregnant, it seems his carefully conceived faÃ§ade is about to crumble. And on a rain-soaked night at the edge of a dangerous cliff, his permanent solution becomes his most terrible mistake.

Now not only are the police after Henry but his pastâ€”which he has painstakingly kept hiddenâ€”threatens to catch up with him as well. Henry is an ingenious man, and he works out an ingenious plan, weaving lies, truths, and half-truths into a story that might help him survive. Still, the noose tightens.

Smart, sardonic, and compulsively readable, this is the story of a man whose cunning allows him to evade the consequences of his every action, even when heâ€™s standing on the edge of the abyss.
