About the book: year / Robert Gold cannot be called a novice writer, but before he always had a co-author, so “12 secrets” is his debut. The Hermetic Detective is always exciting, but here the author expands the closed space where crimes and their investigations take place to the size of a small town. Residents of the fictional Hadley, located near London, know each other well, and therefore, even twenty years after the brutal murder of two teenagers, this crime is alive in the memory of the townspeople. Ben Harper, an investigative journalist and brother of one of the victims, independently tries to understand the motives of the tragedy, and the secrets of his neighbors and friends are revealed to him. Some of these secrets are so creepy that you can’t help but agree with the words of one of the book’s characters: “Looking into the past does not bode well.” The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
