JoAnn Chaney's dark debut, What You Don't Know, tells the story of
the three victims the murderer didn't kill but whose lives he
ruined all the same . . . A crime like this isn't only about the
killer. There are others to consider . . . Seven years ago,
Detective Paul Hoskins and his larger-than-life partner solved one
of the biggest serial killer cases of the decade. They dug up 31
bodies in a crawlspace belonging to the beloved Jacky Seever, a
pillar of the community and a successful businessman. Sammie
Peterson was the lead reporter on the case. Her byline was on the
front page of the newspaper every day. Seever's wife, Gloria,
claimed to be as surprised as everyone else. But when you get that
close to a killer, can you really just move on? Today, Hoskins has
been banished to the basement of the police station, Sammie is
selling make-up at the shopping mall, and Gloria is trying to
navigate a world where she can't escape condemnation. Then a series
of copycat killings take place, with the victims all connected to
Seever. While Gloria is determined not to be forced into the
spotlight again, Hoskins and Sammie see a chance to get their lives
back. But it could mean forfeiting their humanity in the process .
. . It isn't over. It'll never be over.
Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude. Introduction and Notes by
E.B. Greenwood, University of Kent. Anna Karenina is one of the
most loved and memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming
charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness and density.
Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a
novel form, and it addresses the very nature of society at all
levels,- of destiny, death, human relationships and the
irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, and
there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an
abounding joy in life's many ephemeral pleasures, and a profusion
of comic relief.
