Why do we lie? Why do we deceive those we lost most? What do we fear revealing? In this ten tales of deception Roald Dahl explores our tireless efforts to hide the truth about ourselves.
Here, among many other tales you'll read about how to get away with the perfect murder, the old man whos wagers end in a most disturbing payment, how revenge is sweeter when it is carried out by someone else and the card sharp so good at cheating he does something surprising with his life. -- Publisher
