He's been circling Kimberly and her conspirators for months, waiting for the right avenue to the truth, and has finally found it. He knows, as strongly as he's known anything, that Kimberly's story -- a grisly, harrowing story of a hit and run fueled by dope and cheap beer that becomes a brutal stabbing in cold blood -- is how it happened. But one thing remains elusive: where are Jackie and Ian's bodies? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After Barrett stakes his name and reputation on the truth of Kimberly's confession, only to have the bodies turn up 200 miles from where she said they'd be, shot in the back and covered in a different suspect's DNA, the case is quickly closed and Barrett forcibly reassigned. But for Howard Pelletier, the tragedy of his daughter's murder cannot be so tidily swept away. And for Barrett, whose career may already be over, the chance to help a grieving father may be the only one he has left. \u003ci\u003eHow it Happened\u003c\/i\u003e is a frightening, tension-filled ride into the dark heart of rural America from a writer Stephen King has called \"a master\" and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e has deemed \"impossible to resist.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Koryta\u003c\/b\u003e (pronounced ko-ree-ta) is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of nine novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e.
