In 1975, Laura, still a teenager, was struck by the story of sisters Sheila and Katherine Lyon, who disappeared near a shopping mall. The mystery surrounding their disappearance was never solved, and their bodies were never found. The family was left with only their parents and two brothers. Stuck in her unconscious, the event was the starting point for a completely fictional novel about two sisters. The Bethany girls, one 11 and the other 15, disappear from a shopping mall. They have never been found. Hundreds of unanswered questions intrigue the investigating officers: how could they kidnap the two girls? Who lured them out of the mall? Thirty years after the incident, a woman crashes her car on a Maryland highway. She surprises everyone by claiming to be one of the sisters. But her confession and the evasions with which she responds to questioning deepen the mystery. Where has she been all these years? Deftly moving between memory lanes, past and present, Lippman reconstructs the last day of the sisters, Sunny and Heather, seen from different perspectives. Small clues scattered throughout the narrative lead to a surprising but plausible solution to the crime and the identity of the mysterious driver. What the Dead Know is a story of deception and disillusionment, of wounds and betrayals, which confirms Lippman's reputation as one of the finest authors in the genre.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159535501564,"sku":"9788501085467","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c1f85e321fd5c91652c16fd353196d37.jpg?v=1778324732"},{"product_id":"em-uma-cidade-estranha","title":"In a strange city","description":"Every January 19th, the date on which Edgar Allan Poe would have been born, a mysterious figure wearing a cape, scarf, and hat visits the writer's grave in Baltimore, presenting him with roses and brandy, and then disappears without a trace.

Born in the same Baltimore that introduced the world to masters of the genre, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Dashiel Hammett, it was on the city's streets that she found inspiration to create the reporter and investigator Tess Monaghan, star of a series of novels that began with BALTIMORE BLUES. Until the Baltimore Star collapsed, Tess Monaghan was a competent reporter who knew her hometown intimately—from historic Fort McHenry to the housing projects of Cherry Hill. In a professional vacuum, she now survives on insecure jobs and practically lives on charity. Accustomed to the investigative frenzy of news, she surrenders to the world of private detectives. To help a friend from her rowing club, Rock, she agrees to keep an eye on his fiancée. In a city where someone is murdered almost daily, the death of prosecutor Michael Abramowitz could be just another statistic. But the lawyer's fame—combined with the discovery of his affair with Rock's fiancée—sparks media interest. The case makes front-page news, and Monaghan's friend becomes the prime suspect. Stubborn, needy, and playful, she doesn't believe Rock is guilty and tortures herself with an emotional dilemma that could put her own life in danger. With the same instinct that led her to seek the best angles for her stories, she pursues the truth. Out of sheer stubbornness and, of course, in the name of friendship, Tess ends up far better as an investigator than as a reporter. In her search for answers, she'll stumble upon support groups for rape victims, asbestosis sufferers, an extravagant lawyer, and many other surprises, all set in the charming, violent, and enchanting Baltimore.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176409252092,"sku":"9788501085450","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/7a9d44b60c3f88fb3fa6a8a69e9bf885.jpg?v=1778312160"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/laura-lippman.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
