Lillian Linden is a liar. In the eyes of society, she is a brave woman who survived a plane crash. But she’s lying—she’s been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world ever since the rescue helicopter took her and another survivor, Dave Hall, from an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. She’s been lying ever since they became national heroes and favorites of all kinds of talk shows. The public listens with delight to their stories. And yet they can’t tell people their true story… However, TV journalist Genevieve Randall, an “shark of the pen” with a beastly sense for sensation, plans to expose this couple for what they really are. And it doesn’t matter how many lives she destroys in the process…
