Cuckooland : where the rich own the truth / by Burgis, Tom,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Behind a boardroom table at one of London's most fearsome law firms sits the man who wants to own the truth. He is wealthy, influential, a friend to princes and prime ministers. There is no door in the land that doesn't open to him. But who is he really? How did he make his money? The search for the answer leads investigative reporter Tom Burgis from Putin's St Petersburg to a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan, from Kazakh torture chambers to a Kathmandu cabal of Maoists. Places where reality is beaten into submission. The trail does not stop there. It leads on into the democracies, where the truth is said to be sacred -- but where today it is for sale. An entire industry has taken shape to serve those who are seizing the greatest prize of all. The power to choose what they want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know -- and what we are not. 'Write your book and you'll see what happens to it', says the rich man behind the boardroom table. Perhaps Cuckooland has been pulled from the shelves, censored or pulped. If not, inside is the thrilling story of the heist of our times: the takeover of reality itself.

"From the author of Her One Mistake, hailed as "chilling, captivating" by New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda, comes a riveting new suspense novel about three ambitious women whose lives are turned upside down in the aftermath of a horrifying fire, which destroys a successful advertising agency and threatens to expose a tangled web of lies. Laura has returned to work at Morris and Wood after her maternity leave, only to discover that the woman she brought in to cover for her isn't planning on going anywhere. Despite her close relationship with the agency's powerful CEO, Harry Wood, she feels sidelined-and outmaneuvered-as she struggles to balance the twin demands of work and motherhood. Mia was only supposed to be a temporary hire at Morris and Wood, but she's managed to make herself indispensable to everyone. Everyone, that is, except Laura. If people only knew why she was so desperate to keep her job, they might not want her to stay. Janie gave up everything to support her husband and the successful agency he runs. But she has her own dark secret to protect ... and will go to any lengths to keep it safe"--

First lie wins / by Elston, Ashley,author.;
"Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn't exist. The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she's given a name and location by her mysterious boss Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job. Evie isn't privy to Mr. Smith's real identity, but she knows this job will be different. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she's starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can't make any mistakes--especially after what happened last time. Because the one thing she's worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to-her real identity-just walked right into this town. Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there's still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher--but then, Evie has always liked a challenge."--
