No one does suspense better.--Stephen King
A compelling, devastating story about family and the long shadows of the past.--Karin Slaughter
No one will ever forge a flawless novel, but with Tell Me Something True, Robotham has gotten as close to it as I've ever seen.--David Baldacci
The astonishing, moving crime epic from award-winning and bestselling Michael Robotham: a mystery, a coming-of-age tale, and a love story wrapped into one, set against the simmering tensions of a small Australian town
I look along the road and notice how many people are standing outside their houses or watching from doorways and windows. Staring. Studying.
Do you think this town will ever forgive me? I ask.
Not in a million years.
Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn't expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home in 1988, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime, and Arlo was found guilty by association.
His return to Yulara is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved--the ones he couldn't save.
The small town wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago. The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.
For fans of Liz Moore and Chris Whitaker, Tell Me Something True is a poignant, slow-burning mystery filled with palpable tension and tender love about the cost of clemency and the need for revenge.
