Roald Dahl takes on Deception...
A man takes part in a very unusual bet, a wife serves up a dish that utterly baffles the police, and a game of cards between two couples is the basis for some shocking deceit. Deception highlights a domestic familiarity always on the edge of something much, much darker.
Collected together for the first time, stories include My Lady Love, My Dove, Mildenhall Treasure, The Parson's Pleasure, Henry Sugar, The Umbrella Man, The Bookseller, Vengeance is Mine Inc., Lamb to the Slaughter, and Mr Botibol Man from the South.

About the Author
Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
