Product Description

Product Description
Evan Webb's mother is dying. He returns to his home town in Virginia to be with her and his sister. The family has for years shared a secret: that Evan's violent, alcoholic father was not shot dead by an intruder in their house, as the outside world believes, but was killed by Evan's mother, driven beyond endurance by his behaviour. Now the intricate web of lies they have constructed begins to unravel around them, and other past secrets, unknown to Evan or his sister, begin to emerge. Thomas H. Cook has established a huge reputation for his unique crime novels, and INTO THE WEB will further enhance his standing as a master of the form.

About the Author
Thomas H. Cook is the author of 14 previous novels and two books of true crime.

4.0 out of 5 stars High tension, 6 Mar 2003
This review is from: The Interrogation (Hardcover)
September 12, 1952. Albert Jay Smalls, an unassuming homeless man, has been arrested for strangling 8-year-old Cathy Lake to death in a park near the tunnel where he lives. But the police don't have enough evidence to hold him. If he won't confess in the next eleven hours, they'll have to let him go. All through the night detectives Norm Cohen and Jack Pierce interrogate him, seeking to crack his denials or at least come up with enough evidence to keep him locked up where he can't do any more harm. While they are at this -- and returning to his home town in search of clues and digging up the park for the girl's missing necklace -- people are busy elsewhere around the city. Eddie Lambrusco is collecting the night's garbage, worrying over his sick daughter and wishing his old pal Charlie was still with him. Police Chief Thomas Burke is by his son's hospital bed, waiting for him to die. A small-time thief is having his own personal money crisis. As the night wears on and the pressure increases, all of these threads are woven together into a resolution as horrific as it is unavoidable.

THE INTERROGATION is truly hard to put down. At the beginning of each chapter is an old fashioned clock face reminding the reader of how many hours are left in the interrogation and stepping up the pressure as the characters (and reader) are driven ever closer to desperation. Cook has done a tremendous job of portraying his characters' motivations and playing on their strengths and weaknesses. I especially grew to identify with Jack Pierce, whose own young daughter was murdered and who thus has an even greater reason for promising Cathy's heartbroken mother he will bring her killer to justice. In this expertly plotted novel, which remains fast paced while laced with flashbacks, both the perpetrator and the ending are unguessable but expertly foreshadowed.

If you enjoy high tension, well developed mysteries that read almost like a movie, THE INTERROGATION is an excellent choice.
