Nepperij, oplichterij, zwendel, grappenmakerij en bedrog: dit boek geeft er een fascinerend historisch overzicht van. Na een geloofwaardigheidstest waarin de lezer kan bepalen in welke mate hij/zij zich bij de neus laat nemen (zoals: is de bewering 'Schildpadden sterven nooit als gevolg van ouderdom' waar of onwaar), wordt in de inleiding over het hoe en waarom van zwendel en bedrog verteld. Dan volgen chronologisch vele gevallen uit de geschiedenis. Vervalsingen door de middeleeuwse kerk, de fantastische verhalen van John Mandeville die rond 1322 vertelde over eilanden waarvan de bewoners het lichaam van een mens hadden maar de kop van een hond, televisiegrappen (zo zond in 1957 een Britse actualiteitenrubriek een item uit over de spaghetti-oogst in Zwitserland), een UFO in de buurt van Londen in 1989, de vondst van de dagboeken van Hitler in 1983, de BMW-graancirkel gevonden in 1993 in Zuid-Afrika, en vele, vele andere gevallen van bedrog en zwendel.

Sulla Highway 1, un poliziotto nota una croce di legno con una data inquietante, pensando a un errore o a uno scherzo. Ignora che, entro ventiquattr’ore, lì verrà trovata una ragazza in fin di vita. Quando altre croci compaiono lungo la strada, annunciano morti future, rivelando che qualcuno sta giocando a scrivere il futuro. Il caso finisce sulla scrivania di Kathryn Dance, agente del California Bureau of Investigation, che inizia una frenetica caccia al serial killer. Per risolvere il mistero della "strada delle croci", Dance e il collega O’Neil devono esplorare il mondo ingannevole dei giochi di ruolo online, dove la verità è sfuggente. Qui, il diciassettenne Travis Brigham vive molteplici vite, passando da vittima a carnefice, da martire a vendicatore. L'agente Dance dovrà usare tutta la sua intelligenza per districarsi tra deviazioni e false piste, cercando di capire quale sia la verità tra le tante versioni possibili. Con un intreccio avvincente, l'autore riporta in scena Kathryn Dance, più astuta e affascinante che mai, regalando un thriller che cattura il lettore in un gioco di specchi ipnotico.

Reimagines conspiracies and coincidences leading to the mysterious 1988 plane crash that killed Pakistan's dictator General Zia ul-Haq. Intrigue and subterfuge combine with misstep and luck in this darkly comic book about love, betrayal, tyranny, family, and a world unexpectedly resembling our own. Provocative, exuberant, wickedly clever.
