HTML:<p><b>In this "hardboiled mystery" (Maureen Corrigan) from an Edgar Award winning author, a fearless black-bag publicist exposes the belly of the L.A. beast.</b></p> <p>Welcome to Mae Pruett's Los Angeles, where <b><i>"Nobody talks. But everybody whispers."</i></b> As a "black-bag" publicist tasked not with letting the good news out but keeping the bad news in, Mae works for one of LA's most powerful and sought-after crisis PR firms, at the center of a sprawling web of lawyers, PR flaks, and private security firms she calls "The Beast." They protect the rich and powerful and depraved by any means necessary.</p> <p>After her boss is gunned down in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel in a random attack, Mae takes it upon herself to investigate and runs headfirst into The Beast's lawless machinations and the twisted systems it exists to perpetuate. It takes her on a roving neon joyride through a Los Angeles full of influencers pumped full of pills and fillers; sprawling mansions footsteps away from sprawling homeless encampments; crooked cops and mysterious wrecking crews in the middle of the night.</p> <p>Edgar Award-winner Jordan Harper's <i>Everybody Knows</i> is addicting and alarming, a "juggernaut of a novel" and "an absolute tour de force." It is what the crime novel can achieve in the modern age: portray the human lives at the center of vast American landscapes, and make us thrill at their attempts to face impossible odds.</p> <p><b>Recommended by <i>New York Times Book Review</i></b> • <b>NPR/Fresh Air</b> • <b><i>Wall Street Journal</i></b> • <b><i>Washington Post</i></b> • <b><i>LA Times</i></b> •<b>CrimeReads</b>• <b>Alta Online</b> • <b>Lit Hub</b>• <b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b>• <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>• <b>NBC/TODAY and many more!</b></p> <p>• <b>An ABA January 2023 Indie Next List Pick</b> •</p> <p>A NYTBR Editors' Choice Selection</p> <p><b>"The book everybody's been waiting for" —Michael Connelly<br /> "An absolute tour de force"—S.
