HTML:<b>A fearless black-bag publicist exposes the belly of the L.A. beast in "one of the best LA noir novels I've ever read" (Attica Locke) from Edgar Award-winning author Jordan Harper.</b><br /> &#160; <b>A NYTBR Editors' Choice Selection</b><br /> <b>"Ingenious... I'd like to think Chandler himself might get a kick out of <i>Everybody Knows</i>. . . the LA hardboiled mystery form he largely created continues to chronicle a world even more fatally obsessed with images and false gods than he could ever have envisioned."―Maureen Corrigan, NPR/Fresh Air</b><br /> Welcome to Mae Pruett’s Los Angeles, where&#160;<b><i>“Nobody talks. But everybody whispers.”&#160;</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.&#160;<br /> &#160;<br /> 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.<br /> &#160;<br /> Edgar Award-winner Jordan Harper’s EVERYBODY KNOWS 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.<br /> &#160; <b>Recommended by<i>&#160;New York Times Book Review</i>&#160;</b>•&#160;<b>NPR/Fresh Air&#160;</b>•&#160;<b><i>Wall Street Journal</i>&#160;</b>•&#160;<b><i>Washington Post&#160;</i></b>•&#160;<b><i>LA Times&#160;</i></b>•<b>CrimeReads</b>•&#160;<b>Alta Online&#160;</b>•&#160;<b>Lit Hub</b>•&#160;<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b>•&#160;<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>•&#160;<b>NBC/TODAY and many more!</b> •&#160;<b>An ABA January 2023 Indie Next List Pick&#160;</b>•<br /> <b>"The book everybody's been waiting for" —</b><b>Michael Connelly<br /> "An absolute tour de force"</b><b>—</b><b>S.
