But Tom Valle, the local newspaperman assigned to the story, is damned good at spotting lies. And for Valle, once a star reporter at America's most prestigious daily, this so-called accident may be just the ticket he needs to resurrect his career and get him out of the aptly named town of Littleton, California, for good. Yet as Valle eagerly starts investigating, he finds himself the only one who cares about getting the story right. As he starts checking facts, and unveiling lie after lie, he finds himself completely alone -- and negotiating a dark trail of corruption, cover-ups, fraud, and murder that stretches back for decades. The more he discovers, the closer he gets to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to destroy him. From a seedy after-hours bar in L.A. to a remote cabin in the woods to the dark corridors of a psychiatric ward, Valle is desperately seeking redemption in the truth. But, as the boy who cried wolf so many times before, will anyone believe him? 305235 9 8 2006 Deceit total:54|5:5|4:14|3:24|2:6|1:5| 54 170 81 9 5 0 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 13:20:02 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 16:57:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 02:11:31 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 02:42:36 -0700 2009 ]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jan 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 12:47:17 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 05:57:13 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Tue Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 14:03:55 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 14:44:20 -0700 2008
Big mistake. I was completely and utterly disappointed in this book. The ending seemed entirely far-fetched and completely unrealistic. I realize it's fiction, but it was borderline ridicul...more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 14 21:51:27 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 21:55:14 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 13:57:05 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 13:57:05 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 15:25:41 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 15:27:26 -0700 2008 4 0 true false Thu Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 28 14:26:57 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 11:31:34 -0700 2008
