The ultimate caper story, novelist Clifford Irving's no-holds-barred account of the literary hoax that stunned the publishing world, is the storyplot of his faked “autobiography” of Howard Hughes. HOAX was initially published in the uk in 1997, where it became a bestseller. But no American hardcover house would touch THE HOAX as yet. One major publisher offered a $500,000 advance when the book was nearing completion, drew in the contract...then abruptly bowed out. Why? The answer is implicit in this classic tale of daring, treachery, and corruption. As fast-paced and exciting as any spy novel, it involves the reader at every devilish twist and turn. Clifford Irving tells the way the hoax developed, such as a Chinese puzzle, from its madcap beginning to the final startling confession--a witty and nail-biting story of international intrigue and beautiful women, of powerful corporate executives and jet-set rogues, of cover-ups and headlines.
