Does anyone really know what they're capable of when everything they've strived for is put at risk? Robert Mason, a successful head teacher with an outwardly happy marriage and a national profile, has to confront that question head-on. All his achievements are threatened when a co-conspirator from his past threatens to reveal the truth behind a serious incident on a school camp. The story follows Robert's career as he cuts corners, undermines colleagues and blackmails his way to the top. His wife, Emily, initially sees only the confident and caring side to his character, but begins to harbour suspicions as his behaviour becomes increasingly menacing. 'Lessons in Lying' will make you wonder what goes on behind those façades once the school gates close.
Autorenporträt
Michael Shew was inspired to write Lessons in Lying, his first novel, after working as a head teacher in two London comprehensive schools for many years. "All of life was there," he says, and the idea for this story began to form as he faced the daily pressures and exhilarations of being a Head. A 'Writing Fiction' course at Kellogg College, Oxford, motivated him to turn his plot into a novel. He loves hill-walking and travelling and is fascinated by politics. Michael now lives with his partner Francesca in Derbyshire, where he wrote this book; they have an adult daughter Tania.
