  Ever since her sister, Anya, was murdered in Sotogrande, a playground for the rich, Natasha’s life has gone off the rails. After three months of poring over the details of what happened, Natasha travels to the scene of the crime where she hopes to unravel the truth—about her sister’s death and life. With no job, how did Anya end up in a multimillion-Euro apartment in one of the most exclusive areas on the continent? 
   
  The police have no suspect. Publicly, they claim the killing was likely gang-related. But their key person of interest, a local with links to organised crime, is also now dead. His fingerprints were found in Anya’s luxury apartment—but so too were the fingerprints of several others, all of whom could be suspects. 
   
  But how were these people linked to Anya? And which of them is responsible for her murder?

  More Lies is an offbeat comedy thriller – a playful hybrid of fiction, poetry and monologue – about a writer writing to stay alive. A timely satire on the nature of truth and trust, the novel opens with 'our hero' being held hostage in their New York apartment, forced to type to hide the manoeuvres of a femme fatale, holding a pearl-handled gun, and her brother, a small-time thug with big-time ambitions. Through a series of lies, backflips and alternative versions of this wild tale of assassination, lost gold, betrayal, passion and identity theft, the author moves from being a trapped hack, forced to prostitute themselves, to dazzling the world with the acrobatics of their imagination, to the heart of the matter: storytelling is all that is keeping them alive.
