A REAL LIFE THRILLER ABOUT NORMA KHOURI AND THE PEOPLE SHE'S CONNED
In July 2004, Norma Khouri, best-selling author of 'Forbidden Love', was exposed as a fake.
She'd won fame and fortune as a Jordanian virgin on the run from Islamic extremists who'd put a Fatwah on her head for her campaign against honour killings.
But she was really Norma Bagain, a Chicago real-estate agent and mother of two, on the run from the FBI for one million dollars of fraud.
Spinning murder, politics, greed and literary scandal into a web that ensnares us all, FORBIDDEN LIES is a real-life thriller about a brilliant con/artist, the people she's duped, and why, despite everything, we still want to believe her.
