In his latest novel of unrelenting suspense, Edgar Award--winning
author Thomas Cook journeys into the darkest corners of the human heart
to tell a mesmerizing story of crime and retribution-and the forces that
push even good people to the breaking point.
THE INTERROGATION
Albert Jay Smalls sits in an interrogation room accused of an
unspeakable crime. The police have no witnesses, no physical evidence,
but they are certain he is hiding the truth. With less than twelve hours
before he must be released, Smalls will be put through one final
interrogation.
It is a search that leads into the shadowed recesses of one man's
shattered mind-and to the devastating secrets buried in a desolate
seaside town. It is a quest that takes three desperate cops down a dark,
twisting road as they race against the clock to find out what really
happened one rainy autumn afternoon in 1952. The answers will be more
shocking than anyone can imagine, blurring the boundaries between
pursuers and prey, between the innocent and the guilty, between the
truth that sets us free and the tragedies that haunt us to the grave.
Against a gripping backdrop of murder and redemption, master storyteller
Thomas Cook probes the uneasy, shifting bonds of family, love, and
unbearable loss, proving once again why he is "perhaps the best American
writer of crime fiction currently practicing" *(Drood Review).
