about, as richly romantic and wicked, as that number one New York Times
bestseller. Lovers and Liars is Sally Beauman's sensuous, very
contemporary story of public masks and secret lives, of a "perfect"
marriage that is not what it seems, and of lovers long separated yet
destined to meet, tumultuously, again. On a frosty January morning
soon after the New Year's revels, an exquisitely dressed, beautiful
blonde woman sends four identical parcels to four different
destinations: Paris, New York, Venice and London. But the lovely
messenger is not who she claims to be.Photographer Pascal Lamartine
receives his package in Paris: it is a woman's black glove, silky,
scented, and disturbing. In London, reporter Gini Hunter, daughter of a
famous Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, opens her parcel to find even
more threatening contents. And within hours, Gini's enterprising editor
assigns both her and Pascal to expose the story of a lifetime; a story
so rich, so ripe with potential scandal, that it could make
headlines--and ruin lives. For Gini and Pascal must penetrate the
perfect facade of John Hawthorne, the charming, charismatic U.S.
Ambassador to Great Britain, to sift through the layers of ever-shifting
truth about his life.The wealthy scion of a famous American
family--in short, perfect presidential material--John Hawthorne appears
to have thrown away a promising political career to take a diplomatic
post. Why? His wife, Lise, a legendary beauty, is a master at seducing
the media; her delicate features are a constant presence on the society
pages for her charity work, her skills as a hostess, and her unrelenting
chic. Yet the exhaustive, adoring coverage has left the real woman
mysteriously opaque. And now, unbelievably, she seems to be the source
of certain whisperings about her husband.But beyond the sensational
story they are about to unmask--a black-widow web of deceit, betrayal,
and dark desires more complex and perilous than they could have
imagined--Gini and Pascal must confront themselves, their past, and
their brief, passionate love affair twelve years before, when the
fascination between them reached a fever pitch only to end explosively.
Even as their investigation plunges them dangerously into the
hypocrisies of the privileged and powerful, where each surprising
revelation is replaced by a new, even more shocking contradiction, past
merges with present, taking the two lovers back to the hot, bare room at
the edge of danger where, for one burning moment, the world made
perfect sense, took perfect shape.Deftly woven of erotic secrets and
unfolding deceptions that stretch across more than two decades, Lovers
and Liars is a romantic and spellbindingly suspenseful journey into the
mysteries of the heart, where love can sustain the soul--or twist it
cruelly."First-rate suspense." --Cosmopolitan
