Nine Lies

By Robert M. Marchese

Marcus DiMatteo's story begins early one spring morning when he gives a false statement to the police about an alleged gunman near his child's daycare. The statement, given with unwavering ease, arouses the suspicion of Officer Walsh, who pursues the matter in a most unorthodox manner. Marcus' dealings with the police conjure brutal memories of his father's murder ten years earlier. The loss has left not only a void in Marcus' life, but a nagging lack of closure. Whether it's his malaise or recent taste for telling fiction, Marcus tells another lie. Then another. Then another. Soon, he finds himself embroiled with a scholarly stripper, a vindictive coworker, and a life-threatening illness. His transgressions end up bleeding into one another, irrevocably altering Marcus' lot. "Nine Lies" is a story about fate, revenge, and the chances one is willing to take when there is simply nothing left to lose.
