Product Description

Product Description
Albert Jay Smalls has been accused of a terrible crime. There's no witness, no evidence, but the police are convinced he's guilty. They have just twelve hours to find out the truth. The three cops on the case each has is own reasons for wanting to nail Smalls: Jack Pierce is consumed by the murder of his daughter and his own promise to the victim's mother; Norman Cohen is haunted by the terrible things he saw at the liberation of a concentration camp; Thomas Burke has a dying son he lost a long time ago. And in a race against time, they must find out what really happened one rainy afternoon in 1952 . . .

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.
