Thomas H. Cook has twice won Edgar Awards for his finely crafted psychological thrillers, and Breakheart Hill was named the single best mystery novel of the 1990s by the founder of The Mysterious Press. The Interrogation is a desperate race against time and a gripping journey into the darkest corners of the human soul. One day in 1952, the strangled body of 10-year-old Cathy Lake is discovered in a public park. A homeless suspect, Albert Jay Smalls, is arrested and held for interrogation. Now, Officers Norman Cohen and Jack Pierce have only 24 hours to make the sullen young man talk before he's released. How far are they willing to push him to get a confession? As the two policemen gather the many contradictory pieces of evidence, the boundaries between hunter and prey, guilty and innocent, begin to blur. Thomas H. Cook is a master of the surprise ending, and The Interrogation is sure to leave every listener stunned. Audie Awarda-winning narrator George Guidall's performance captures the dramatic urgency of this deeply disturbing tale.

" Amazing how the most insignificant characters becomes the most important ones. A Hitchock style ending. Very enjoyable. "
" Really fast read, very enjoyable. Took place in the 1940s "
" All the events occur in 1952, while a suspect is being interrogated.We know the murderer identity at the very last page. "
" Took a little while to get into, and character plot came together a little too coincidental. Still thought it was an alright read, but didn't blow me away. "
" This guy writes some of the darkest crime fiction out there, and does it disturbingly well. "
" THIS IS A STUDY OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK, NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THE CRIME OF THE MURDER OF A YOUNG GIRL. A MALE DRIVEN BOOK BASED IN THE 50'S CULTURE. THE AUTHOR IS AN EDGAR AWARD WINNER. "
" Absolutely terrible...not worth picking it up out of a free bin! "
" Strange, I have this book listed in my notebook as having read it, but I have no recollection of the story. Usually just seeing the name triggers a memory, but not in this case... "
" Good story overall. Some final details didn't make sense but still intriguing. "
" Good plot. Didn't think the writing was that good. "
" Not my favorite however it is a good read, and with a surprise ending but not what i would have liked. My question is did the suspect......or did the superintendent............ the suspect. Read it and find out "
