Where the Truth Lies

O’Connor is a confident young journalist known for her insightful celebrity interviews.  There is nothing she enjoys more than delving into secrets that her interviewees don’t want revealed.  When the opportunity to write a book; a biography of the most popular comedy duo of the 50’s and 60’s arises, O’Connor jumps at the chance.

Vince Collins was the suave sophisticated crooner, Lanny Morris the monkey-faced clown.  They haven’t seen each other in the fifteen years since they ended their partnership.  The apparent suicide of Maureen O’Flaherty, a bellhop from Miami, found in their New York hotel suite is rumoured to have been the cause of the break-up.   Neither were suspected of a hand in her death because they were both visibly in Miami at the time, taking part in a televised charity event.  However rumours have circulated ever since and O’Connor is determined to find out the truth. 

As O’Connor gets to know these two men she is charmed by both of them.  Neither of them know she is in touch with the other and as smart as O’Connor is, she allows herself to be fooled by both.  She learns more about the men and their past and secrets are gradually revealed with twist upon twist until the final shocking revelation of Maureen’s fate.
