Казалось бы, жизнь Генри Хайдена вполне удалась: он – знаменитый писатель, у него полно денег, прекрасный дом и верная, любящая жена. Но никто не знает, что и у Генри есть свои секреты… Охраняя их, он ловко лавирует между правдой и ложью, и поначалу ему везет. Однако в какой-то момент все начинает идти не так, и Генри совершает фатальную ошибку, которую невозможно…

Dark, witty, and suspenseful, this literary crime thriller reminiscent of The Dinner and The Silent Wife follows a famous author whose wife—the brains behind his success—meets an untimely death, leaving him to deal with the consequences.
“Evil is a matter of opinion…”

On the surface, Henry Hayden seems like someone you could like, or even admire. A famous bestselling author who appears a modest everyman. A loving, devoted husband even though he could have any woman he desires. A generous friend and coworker. But Henry Hayden is a construction, a mask. His past is a secret, his methods more so. No one besides him and his wife know that she is the actual writer of the novels that made him famous.

For most of Henry’s life, it hasn’t been a problem. But when his hidden-in-plain-sight mistress becomes pregnant and his carefully constructed facade is about to crumble, he tries to find a permanent solution, only to make a terrible mistake.

Now not only are the police after Henry, but his past—which he has painstakingly kept hidden—threatens to catch up with him as well. Henry is an ingenious man and he works out an ingenious plan. He weaves lies, truths, and half-truths into a story that might help him survive. But bit by bit the noose still tightens.

Smart, sardonic, and compulsively readable, here is the story of a man whose cunning allows him to evade the consequences of his every action, even when he’s standing on the edge of the abyss.

From the outside, Henry Hayden has a perfect life: he's a famous novelist with more money than he can spend, a grand house in the country, a loyal, clever wife. But Henry has a dark side. If only the readers and critics who worship his every word knew that his success depends on a carefully maintained lie. One he will stop at nothing to protect. His luck must surely run out, and he simply can't allow that to happen.

In thrall to paranoia and self-interest, Henry makes a fatal error that could cause the whole dream to unravel and, despite his Machiavellian efforts, events swiftly spin out of control as lie is heaped upon lie, menace upon menace. And it turns out that those around him have their secrets too...

Henry ist ein erfolgreicher Schriftsteller. Er ist elegant, großzügig und sehr gefährlich. Denn Henry ist ein skrupelloser Hochstapler, der sich ein überaus angenehmes Leben geschaffen hat.

Einfacher wäre es, die Geliebte aus dem Weg zu räumen. Doch genau dabei passiert Henry ein nicht wieder gutzumachender Fehler.

Er zeigt uns einen Mann, der sich den Konsequenzen seines Tuns immer entziehen konnte – bis er einen Schritt zu weit geht.
