Stripping the facades from a society with an innate sense of hero worship, insatiable lust for rumours, scandals and tales of other people’s misfortunes, Tod Goldberg presents a novel that holds the advantages of high society up for scrutiny. Fake Liar Cheat’s main character Lonnie is a house-bound couch jockey with dreams of a caviar lifestyle until a chance encounter with a seductive and glamorous woman propels him into circles filled with movie stars, musicians, fashion models and other members of the jet set. As the novelty wears thin, Lonnie realizes he’s become something of a legend but by then, his momentum is carrying him too fast to slow down. High society just isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. | Fake Liar Cheat by Tod Goldberg, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
