An FBI agent believes she can squeeze her into ratting on her family. A daughter and an ex-husband need to save their own skins. And circling them all: a group who would prefer to eliminate her quietly and anonymously, but who also are not what they seem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur first picture of Allison is in the moments following her death. The story then moves backward in time like the cult film Memento: an hour earlier, then the day before, back and back to the beginning, until we can see what's really happened--and, most shocking, what hasn't. At every turn, Allison Pagone knows that what she sees may not be what's real. The only sure thing is her place in a vortex of half-truths, threats, and suspicion. When her nightmare is over, will she awake in the company of friends--or in the company of liars? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn the Company of Liars \u003c\/i\u003eis a tantalizing tour de force--a \"compelling new novel of intrigue, murder, and terrorism\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Ellis is the author of seven novels, including \u003ci\u003eLine of Vision\u003c\/i\u003e for which he won the Edgar Award.
