Where the Truth Lies: A Mystery

Adapted into a major motion picture starring Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon! From the New York Times bestselling author of Murder Your Employer comes Where the Truth Lies, a tour de force of sinister mystery, sly comedy, grand cuisine, and all-consuming desire—“a narcotically addictive thriller” (Esquire). Kerry O’Connor, a disamingly witty young journalist inclined to drawing the line at very little and crossing it when she does, is hell-bent on unearthing secrets long ago buried by the magnetic showbiz team of singer Vince Collins and comic Lanny Morris. Once inseparable (and seemingly insatiable), the two celebrities were driven apart by a young woman’s bizarre and unexplained death, in which either might have been complicit. As the tart-tongued, incautious O’Connor delves deeper into their lives, she finds herself compromisingly coiled around both men, learning more about them than they realize—and less than she might like…increasingly fearful that she now knows far too much. Where the Truth Lies confirms Rupert Holmes’s status as one of the most ingenious writers of today, a Renaissance man who has succeeded in virtually every realm of the entertainment world: music, film, television, Broadway, and literature. As the Los Angeles Times observed, Holmes is “one of those gifted people who seem able to do anything they want with the English language.”
