About This Book
Where the Truth Lies is a tour de force of sinister mystery, sly comedy,
grand cuisine, and incredible sex?a sensual, sardonic, neo-Dickensian
thriller in which a latter-day Alice careens through the seductive
Wonderland of New York and Los Angeles in the dark heart of the 1970s.
This novel of intrigue speeds from one vivid setting to another, all of
them factually real even as they are fantastically surreal: a
clandestine club in Disneyland with a dazzlingly well stocked bar; a
dizzying Shangri-La of a castle hidden away in Burbank; a drive-in movie
theater nestled below the most chic streets of midtown Manhattan; an
elegant table for four perched thirty thousand feet above the earth.
Written by Edgar, Tony, and Grammy Award winner Rupert Holmes (who first
came to public attention in the mid-seventies as a singer and writer of
story songs), Where the Truth Lies will wine and dine you in wickedly
whimsical company, all the while luring you into a labyrinth of
ever-sharpening bends and darkening corners.
The tale is told by O’Connor, a vivacious, free-spirited young
journalist known for her penetrating celebrity interviews and bent on
unearthing secrets long ago buried by the handsome showbiz team of
singer Vince Collins and comic Lanny Morris. These two highly desirable
men, once inseparable (and insatiable where women were concerned), were
driven apart by a bizarre and unexplained death that may have cast one
of them as a murderer.
As the tart-tongued, eye-catching O’Connor ventures deeper into this
unsolved mystery, she finds herself compromisingly coiled around both
men, knowing more about them than they realize and less than she might
like, but increasingly fearful that she now knows far too much.
At once funny, frightening, delightful, and disturbing as it restores
the opulent Hollywood and Manhattan of the seventies to their garish
glory, Where the Truth Lies drops its veils like a giddy and voluptuous
Salome who knows not what reward or punishment awaits her when she is at
last naked. It is the work of a master storyteller and wit at the very
top of his form.
