The Art of Deception

Publisher Marketing: Meet Ray Solomon, a self-described ladies' man who's in the business of giving women what they want-or telling them what they think they want to hear. Meet Jane Bowen, a young woman who learned to survive on her own only to have her heart broken when she discovered her husband's secret and potentially deadly double life. Discover the way in which these two characters become inextricably linked as Ray deceives the women around him, including Jane's best friend Kayla; while Jane is convinced Tina, the gold-digging opportunist, wants something for nothing from her wealthy corporate father. This cleverly written and entertaining story delves into the human psyche and asks the reader to reflect on the varying degrees in which people play games with one another. It addresses simple questions-who are we, really, and who do we pretend to be to get what we want? Does it matter if we deceive others if our intentions are good or self-serving? And if our intentions are bad, is there no hope for the victims of deception? The Art of Deception encompasses a spectrum of human emotion and behavior-love, pain, sorrow, passion and greed and the idea that we all strive for something just beyond our reach. Let the characters' stories unfold and see how they get where they think they want to be.
