After a troubled teen, no stranger to the law, admits to her involvement in a brutal murder, Rob Barrett, an FBI investigator and interrogator stakes his reputation on her confession only to have the information she provided prove false.
...[an] ingenious new thriller ... Koryta’s plotting is sure-footed, and the secrets he discloses, one by one, at the novel’s end are both surprising and plausible. My main reservation about “How It Happened” is the massive amount of violence inflicted on Rob, from which he bounces back too readily...the savagery and Rob’s amazing recoveries seem out of place in a novel that trades so briskly in finesse ... a book the reader won’t soon forget.
