WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE by Becky Cooper
Former New Yorker staff writer and investigative reporter Becky Cooper’s true crime masterpiece, WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE, has earned fantastic blurbs in the lead-up to its fall publication. Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Alexander Hamilton Ron Chernow calls it “[a] stunning achievement,” declaring that “this stirring narrative, with its heart-stopping finale, forces us to ponder the very nature of historical truth.” Meanwhile, Jeff Guinn, bestselling biographer of Charles Manson and Jim Jones, had this to say: “For decades, the acknowledged Big Three among True Crime books have been IN COLD BLOOD by Truman Capote, HELTER SKELTER by Vincent Bugliosi and THE EXECUTIONER’S SONG by Norman Mailer. Now it's the Big Four, because Becky Cooper's WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE deserves inclusion in this exalted company.” Grand Central Publishing will publish the book on November 10, 2020.
