The School for Liars - Hardcover

by Neal K. Paterson (Author)

Welcome to the School For Liars!

It is the year 2109, and the world has become a better place-
because an invisible airborne drug, nicknamed Scope, has made it
impossible to lie. Or has it? At a secretive School, hidden away in
northern Maine, students are instructed in the forbidden and
forgotten art of prevarication. They graduate as masters of
manipulation and go on to wield great power and influence. But there
is a price...
To the School comes Japeth Sawyer, a street-smart runaway
endowed with the gift of gifts-complete immunity to Scope. There
he meets Dustin Ashe, in rebellion against the forces that made him
a child of privilege. Their unlikely friendship will unravel a grisly
murder, reveal the darkest mysteries of the School, and probe the
truth or falsity of its motto: own the words, own the world.
