With the publication of "The Average American Male" and the release of the viral videos that promoted it online-videos that shocked the nation - Chad Kultgen became one of the most talked-about authors of 2007. Now, with "The Lie", Kultgen returns with a more searching novel that reaches even deeper into the craven inner workings of some of most depraved minds in America: college students. His subjects are Brett, Kyle, and Heather: the manipulative rich kid with a disdain for women and a closet full of sex toys; his best friend, the brooding science dork who's a secret dynamo in bed; and the social climbing sorority girl who, with one lie, can destroy them all.As Heather makes a play for Brett's money and the ultimate relationship - one that calculatingly leads her into Kyle's bed and heart - Kultgen will have guys second-guessing at just how cutthroat an average sorority girl can be. Told from all three shockingly uncensored points of view, "The Lie" opens up a dark reality where sex is a social tool and status means everything.
