Private Lies

De: Warren Adler

Narrado por: Steven Cooper

The romance novel that sparked an unprecedented hollywood bidding war - receiving $1.2 million - the largest sum paid for an unpublished book at its time.

Ken Kramer and his wife, Maggie, appear to have a comfortable life and loving marriage. But their peaceful life is shattered when Ken is taken along on a business dinner and introduced to Maggie’s major client, Eliot, and his wife, Carol - who happens to be Ken’s old flame. Though Carol was once the love of his life and the object of his sexual obsession as a young man, the Carol he meets seems determined to not recognize him at the dinner table. Baffled by her non-recognition, he learns that she has totally reinvented herself and snagged a rich husband who has no knowledge of her real early life. As Maggie and Eliot grow closer, the love and sexual obsession between Ken and Carol rekindles - only for the plot to thicken as both couples embark on an African Safari with startling and tragic results.
