Selling Lies (ePub)

'Selling Lies' is a story of the greatest lie ever told and the survival of truth in America. The setting is the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia in the year 2036, shortly after Congress has decriminalized all forms of lying. An ambitious salesman convinces a respected U. S. Senator to launch the greatest lie ever told, which brings America to the brink of civil war. While the salesman strives to keep the tormented senator from confessing the lie, he also tries to make a female lawyer fall in love with him despite her rejection of lies as a social norm. Can the breakup of America be prevented, or does society continue to descend into an abyss of lies?
