I Know Everything

Early in this exciting police procedural from Farrell (What Have You Done), New York State police investigator Susan Adler arrives at the scene of a fatal auto accident, where she meets state policeman Tommy Corolla. The driver, philanthropist Amanda Brock, appears to have driven her car off a mountain road and fallen to the rocks below. Adler and Corolla soon discover evidence that points to murder, and the victim’s psychologist husband, Randall Brock, comes under scrutiny. As the pressure mounts, Randall, who’s desperate to prove his innocence, is visited by a mysterious stranger, who claims to know who committed the crime. However, the information the stranger offers comes at a price: Randall must reveal details of an incident from his youth, one he would prefer to forget. Meanwhile, Adler and Corolla delve deeper into Amanda’s life and begin to realize that Randall isn’t the only suspect hiding the truth. The high-energy narrative swerves into surprising and terrifying territory before slamming into its truly chilling finale. Farrell takes the reader down some dark and twisting paths.
