Summary "Deception is usually frowned on as morally unacceptable, but is it always wrong? Can hiding or distorting the truth sometimes have good effects, adding to the sum of human happiness? These ten stories are full of secrets and lies, from a light-hearted bit of fun to dark and desperate deceit ; but whether harmless or evil, deception can sometimes lead to quite unexpected complications."--Back cover.
