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.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And
if not, is he a devil?' Heathcliff, an orphan, wild and unkempt, is
taken in by Mr Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights
on the bleak Yorkshire moors. He is drawn to Earnshaw's daughter
Catherine, and as the pair grow up together they become bound by an
intense and passionate love. But when Catherine's father dies,
Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, and social disparity drives a
wedge between them that will eventually become their downfall.
Poetic, grand in scope, and with complex ideas of morality, social
codes, violence and illness, Wuthering Heights is one of the most
unique and emotive Gothic novels, and is considered Emily Bronte's
masterpiece.
