The Embedded Lie

Eight childhood mates-connected through golf, friendship, and deep-seated lies-face their betrayals. In small towns, there is always that group. The privileged kids-the ones who appear to have it all. But beneath the deep bond between the 'Master's Eight' lies deceit. On a beautiful Australian seaside, the Master's Eight gather once yearly for a round of golf. When a film production company gets wind of their tradition, cameras roll to create a documentary. Little did the filmmakers know the explosive and devastating secrets this production would reveal. Through dark humour, the sins of parents and their influence on family dynamics bubble on and off the course. Delving into a world of children becoming adults, the Master's Eight must face emotional growth and, ultimately, enduring friendships despite the trauma buried for decades. In Peter Dickson's debut fiction novel, find intoxicating mystery, wit, unforgettable characters, and a childhood alliance within the pages of The Embedded Lie, as you laugh until you cry.
