Description
A gripping political thriller about the cost of staying silent and the mixed rewards of speaking up in a profoundly divided country. Those Who Knew is a riveting exploration of power, politics and personal responsibility. On an unnamed island country ten years after the collapse of a U.S.-supported regime, Lena suspects a powerful senator she was involved with may be taking advantage of a young woman who's been introducing him at rallies. The young woman ends up dead, prompting Lena to revisit her own fraught history with the senator and the violent incident that ended their relationship. As Lena navigates her past and present, she must confront the consequences of staying silent and the impact it has on her credibility. A tense and timely novel about the complexities of power and the human cost of speaking out.
