Overview
El L.A. Confidential del siglo XXI.
Un thriller apasionante sobre la corrupta fábrica de sueños de Hollywood.
«El libro que todos esperábamos.» -Michael Connelly
Ganadora del Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award
Mujer eficaz y solvente, Mae Pruett trabaja en Los Ángeles como solucionadora de problemas para lo que ella llama «la Bestia», una discreta pero solvente red de abogados, agencias de relaciones públicas y compañías de seguridad privada que se encarga de proteger a personas ricas y poderosas, incluidas las grandes celebridades de Hollywood. Sin embargo, cuando su jefe y mentor Dan Hennigan es abatido a tiros en un ataque aparentemente aleatorio en pleno Sunset Boulevard, su vida da un vuelco. Obligada a enfrentarse al retorcido sistema de «la Bestia» y a la corrupción que lo sustenta, Mae se embarca en una aventura alucinante por una ciudad poblada de magnates, adictos, vagabundos, policías corruptos, almas perdidas, depredadores en busca de carne joven y misteriosos equipos de demolición que actúan en medio de la noche mientras lucha sin cuartel por su vida y su redención.
Ganadora del prestigioso premio Ian Fleming Steel Dagger y seleccionada como mejor novela negra del año por The New York Times, The Guardian y The Times, Silencios que matan es una novela adictiva, oportuna y desgarradora que combina la brutalidad de James Ellroy con la sensibilidad poética de Raymond Chandler en un viaje a corazón abierto por una metrópoli, Los Ángeles, cuyos contrastes la convierten en poco menos que una jungla iluminada con luces de neón.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In this “dazzling” (New York Times Book Review) mystery from an Edgar Award winning author, a fearless black-bag publicist exposes the belly of the L.A. beast.

Welcome to Mae Pruett’s Los Angeles, where “Nobody talks. But everybody whispers.” 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.
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.
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.
"The book everybody's been waiting for" —Michael Connelly
"The best mystery novel I've read in years" —James Patterson
