Description
Ethan is a liar. He can't help it, he doesn't even realize he's doing it, but he lies to everyone he meets, and he doesn't know how to stop.
Cut off from those around him, Ethan finds himself at the door of Dr. Wright, agreeing to a radical treatment. Ethan will leave his home of Boston behind to tour the world, and, given a plane ticket and a course of experimental medication, change his life forever.
But when, mid-treatment and a thousand miles from home, Ethan is accused of murder, how can he, or the embassy, or even his closest friends defend him? After all, Ethan can't remember where he was the night the murder happened.
All he knows for sure is he was with the woman just before she died.
With his freedom and sanity at stake, the truth seems to be further from Ethan's grasp than ever. But then, if he wants to keep his freedom, perhaps lies are all he can depend on.
Advance Praise
"Ethan’s personal torment at not being able to figure out if his mind is betraying him at every turn creates enough doubt for the reader to allow a fully immersive experience in a tense psychological thriller. The piece-de-resistance in Mann’s tale is the shocking plot twist that lurks at the end. Since Ethan is, first and foremost, a self-confessed liar, one has to wonder throughout the book about his general honesty in relating his own story. In the end, one question inevitably arises… Is ANY of Ethan’s story true? You be the judge."
"This is a bit different then what I'm used to but it was very good. Had a very different but interesting story line. I read it almost in one sitting it was that good. If you are looking for something to keep you coming back but holds you at the same time this book is for you."
"Different from the books that I typically like to sink my teeth into with complex characters, snappy dialogue, and detailed description—I still became a captive reader under the author’s influence. Direct and to the point, the protagonist’s first-person narrative moves the plot along at a quick pace, while revealing innermost thoughts. For a time, the reader is just as much in the dark as Ethan."
