For fans of Gone GirlI Hunt Killers, and TV’s How to Get Away with Murder.

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 and liven up a boring senior year. With the help of his friends Preston and 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 hooking him up. Until Preston never comes home. Then the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead the cops to Preston’s body. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.

Can Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didn’t commit? In a story that Kirkus Reviews called “Captivating to the very end,” Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.

Why I Don’t Lie by Nemo

There’s an Aesop fable that pretty much taught me not to lie at a young age. It involves a man who boasts about all the great things he can do, thinking no one willcall him out on it – and then someone does. The implication is that he can’t do what he said he can do. I personally have a honestly policy because I don’t think I’m smart enough to lie – you know the truth, but you have to remember all the facts about lies as well, and they grow more elaborate and it’s really just easier to tell the truth.

Aesop’s Fable: The Boasting Traveller

A Man once went abroad on his travels, and when he came home he had wonderful tales to tell of the things he had done in foreign countries. Among other things, he said he had taken part in a jumping-match at Rhodes, and had done a wonderful jump which no one could beat.

“Just go to Rhodes and ask them,” he said; “every one will tell you it’s true.”

But one of those who were listening said, “If you can jump as well as all that, we needn’t go to Rhodes to prove it. Let’s just imagine this is Rhodes for a minute: and now – jump!”
