Secretos y Mentiras
by Hannah HoweSecretos y Mentiras ¿Suicidio o asesinato? La mayoría de las personas con las que me he encontrado están escondiendo un secreto y muchas de ellas son expertas diciendo mentiras. Sin embargo, ¿cómo descubres la verdad acerca de alguien que ya no está entre nosotros? El autor Barclay Quinton escribió Fabringjay, la historia de un hombre que llevó una vida secreta durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cual fue bien recibido por los críticos, pero fue ignorado por los lectores; e Illicit Lust, un libro que él odiaba y que escribió solamente para satisfacer a su representante y editora. Illicit Lust se convirtió en un éxito de ventas, un hecho que molestó a Barclay. Sin embargo, su éxito sí abrió puertas y él comenzó a investigar para su próxima novela, la historia de un mafioso envejecido. La investigación de Barclay lo puso en contacto con muchos sujetos despreciables, incluyendo a villanos, detectives privados sospechosos y gerentes de clubes nocturnos. El reporte oficial de la muerte de Barclay declaró que él se había suicidado. Sin embargo, una amiga cercana insistía en que Barclay había sido asesinado y yo fui contratada para investigar. Mientras tanto, más cerca de casa, yo descubrí un secreto, y la verdad, acerca de mi pareja de años. ¿Era él el hombre de mis sueños o estaba nuestra relación a punto de terminar? Secretos y Mentiras ― una historia de amor, de engaño, de las muchas caras que todos poseemos: la cara pública, la cara privada y la profundamente personal.
