What Lies Around Us by Andrew Crofts

What Lies Around Us by Andrew Crofts

A ghostwriter uncovers a web of power, corruption, and betrayal in Silicon Valley and Hollywood.

Why would one of Silicon Valley's most powerful billionaires offer a British ghostwriter a million dollars to write the autobiography of one of Hollywood's biggest stars? Only once he is living and working among the world's richest and most beautiful people does the ghost realize that there is way more than a publishing deal at stake. What Lies Around Us takes the reader into a world of myth-makers and power-brokers and reveals who is really running the world. Who is telling the stories and controlling the way we all think with a mixture of old media, social media and fake media?

For adult readers seeking a political thriller that explores the dark side of celebrity culture and social media manipulation, this novel offers a suspenseful and thought-provoking glimpse into the hidden forces shaping our world.

Ntigurirwa, Hyppolite: - Andrew Crofts is a ghostwriter and author who has published more than a hundred books, both fiction and non-fiction, a dozen of which were Sunday Times number one bestsellers. Andrew's name first became known among publishers for the stories he brought them by the otherwise disenfranchised. Travelling all over the world he worked with victims of enforced marriages in North Africa and the Middle East, sex workers in the Far East, orphans in war-torn areas like Croatia and dictatorships like Romania, victims of crimes and abused children everywhere. The success of these books brought many very different people to his door; first came the celebrities from the worlds of film, music, television and sport, and then the real elite in the form of world leaders in business and politics. Andrew has also published his own fiction, most recently What Lies Around Us and Secrets of the Italian Gardener, which both draw on his experiences ghostwriting for the powerful and wealthy. His books on writing include Ghostwriting, (A&C Black) and The Freelance Writer's Handbook, (Piatkus), which has been reprinted eight times over twenty years and Confessions of a Ghostwriter (Friday Project).
