About the Book
A dark and twisted psychological tale, which Kirkus Reviews called “captivating to the very end” in a starred review—perfect for fans of I Hunt Killers and Gone Girl.
Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell forged permission slips and cover stories to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money. So with the help of his friend Preston and his girlfriend, Parvati, Max starts Liars, Inc. Suddenly everybody needs something, and the cash starts pouring in. Who knew lying could be so lucrative?
When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesn’t think twice about it. But then Preston never comes home. And the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead to Preston’s body.
Terrifying clues that point to Max as the killer….
- Framed for Murder: After his best friend Preston is found dead, the evidence starts pointing in one direction: straight at Max. The cover story he created is now the perfect motive.
- Unreliable Narrator: Max is a professional liar, the founder of Liars, Inc. But can a boy who sells the truth for cash convince anyone he’s innocent?
- Twisty Plot: The more Max tries to clear his name, the deeper he’s pulled into a conspiracy. Every clue uncovered only leads to more questions about what really happened to Preston.
- Dark Secrets: Preston was hiding something, and so is Max’s girlfriend, Parvati. In this page-turning mystery, Max learns he can’t trust anyone, maybe not even himself.
