Art of Deception - by Bruce K Hansen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Sulky's Law: "All historical records are incomplete and are therefore untruthful. They are lies of omission and political expediency." - Sulkean Van At the age of sixty, Cambodian multi-millionaire Sulkean Van realizes that he has one last mission from his past to complete. His drive to accumulate wealth had the benefit of keeping the past out of his mind, but with his goals now accomplished-he has time to reflect. At the edges of his past, his memories and regrets creep in, but he isn't ready to confront them. Determined to outrun the past, he starts a new interest to occupy his energies: he will solve the hundred-year-old mystery of the Tunguska Event, the 1908 fifteen-megaton explosion over Siberia. Was it a natural or technological event? But as he begins to pull at the threads of a tapestry of deception, his research has the unintentional consequence of unraveling the dark secrets of his own past.
