Publisher's Synopsis
A placid and secure retirement seems certain for Kendill Motte, distinguished Professor of History at Arch Hill university - until an anonymous late-night phone call triggers a series of events that comples him to write a confession of his violent and ruthless rise from obscurity. Kevin Ireland's fourth novel is a shrewd, searching and unpredictable romantic comedy about the absurdities we create when we try to tell the truth about our lives. As Motte says, "Whatever the evidence, the truth lies."
