What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman
The Bethany sisters disappeared in the 1970s. In 2007, after leaving a car accident, a woman tells the police that she is a Bethany sister. Why? Why now after all this time would she come forward and make this outrageous claim? Is this just confusion from a head trauma? Is it a ploy to get her out of criminal charges or is she a fraud? If not, which sister is she? The one she is claiming to be or someone else? Read the book to find out the answer to these intriguing questions.

In "What the Dead Know,"
In "What the Dead Know," Laura Lippman displays her literary flair and stylistic genius in a tightly woven, hypnotic, highly intelligent adventure.
In 1975, two sisters vanished without a trace from a Baltimore mall. It was a dead end crime---no reliable witnesses, no clues, no leads, no hope.
Thirty years later a hit and run driver (with no ID) claims to be Heather Bethany (one of the sisters).
She has knowledge that only the sisters would have. As the story shifts between the decades, between fact and fiction, between imposter and the genuine article; detective Kevin Infante (a wonderful character) feels something about "Heather's" story is out of kilter.
