The basis for the Don Cheadle series on Showtime, an accurate and darkly hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the twisted world of management consulting.

"[A] highly intelligent and deeply funny debut memoir skewers a segment of the economy that nearly every white-collar worker has learned to fear and loathe: consultancies." -- Publishers Weekly

Once upon a time in Corporate America paid certain people huge fees to tell organizations what they were doing wrong. These men and women really knew next to nothing. They trashed business, destroyed careers, and wasted time and money. They called themselves Management Consultants...

When Martin Kihn joined a powerhouse New York consulting firm, he thought his job was to help organizations. In reality, the consultants spent precious work hours prowling for new clients, and offered little or no useful information. From power breakfasts with mind games to the screaming indignity of "Feedback Camp" in New Jersey, House of Lies reveals the truth about a "profession" that could threaten your job, your career, and your life... and even throws you some lifelines should the suits start circling your company.

"With sharp wit, consultant Kihn tears down myths surrounding the highly profitable and revered management-consulting industry... No activity avoids Kihn's scathing pen, including his highly critical analysis of business books." -- Booklist

"Exceedingly smart and funny... Kihn's breezy, Jay McInerney-inspired writing renders the damnable daily life of the management consultant precisely, often hilariously." -- Salon.com

"Funny, lucid, and lacerating." -- Graydon Carter, editor-in-chief, Vanity Fair
