Books like The interrogation by Thomas H. Cook

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. The police have no witnesses, no physical evidence, but they are certain that Albert Jay Smalls, accused of an unspeakable crime, is hiding the truth. With less than twelve hours before he must be released, Smalls will be put through one final interrogation. The search leads into the shadowy recesses of one man's shattered mind, and to the devastating secrets buried in a desolate seaside town. This 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. Against a gripping backdrop of murder and redemption, master storyteller Thomas Cook probes the uneasy, shifting bonds of family, love, and unbearable loss, proving why he is 'perhaps the best American writer of crime fiction currently practicing' (Drood Review). From the Hardcover edition.
