How much is one life worth? In FAKING LIFE, internationally bestselling author

Jason Pinter offers a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that asks the

ultimate question: how much is one life worth? John Gillis is a lifelong

bartender looking to jump-start his stagnant existence after the death of a

close friend--by writing a raw, unvarnished memoir. Esther is an ambitious

young woman searching for career inspiration and true love--and believes in

John she just might have found both. Nico Vanetti is a fading literary agent,

a former King of Industry, who sees John Gillis as his meal ticket back to the

top. Nico knows that in entertainment whatever bleeds, leads, and so in order

to reap the millions he expects from John's story he'll do whatever it takes

to manipulate John's life behind the scenes--even if it means forcing him to

pay with his life. FAKING LIFE is high-stakes novel of suspense that shows

just how far people will go to alter reality--even if it comes at the ultimate

price.
