About this ebook
PI Terry Orr returns in this “complex, haunting story” of conspiracy and murder in post-9/11 New York from the acclaimed author of Closing Time (Publishers Weekly).
Still coping with the death his wife and infant son—and still obsessed with finding the madman who killed them—Terry Orr has kept busy raising his young daughter and working as a private investigator known for solving some of New York City’s most baffling cases.
Now, at the behest of his housekeeper, Terry is searching for one Sonia Salgado, recently released from prison after serving thirty years for murdering a diamond dealer. Unfortunately, when he finds the woman, she’s been murdered herself. Now Terry is determined to discover why. But someone else is determined to stop him no matter what . . .
In a mystery hailed as “a winner on all fronts,” Jim Fusilli pulls readers into the dark streets of a city dealing with the tragedy of September 11, and the mind of a man determined to find justice amid the chaos (Booklist, starred review).
A Well-Known Secret is the 2nd book in the Terry Orr Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

About the author
Jim Fusilli is the author of eight novels and two works of nonfiction. He also served as the rock and pop music critic of the Wall Street Journal.
Among his novels are Closing Time, A Well-Known Secret, Tribeca Blues, and Hard, Hard City, about New York City private investigator Terry Orr and his young daughter, Bella, who Orr is raising in the aftermath of the murder of his wife and infant son. Narrows Gate is an epic set in the first half of the twentieth century in the Italian-American community of a gritty waterfront city based on Hoboken, New Jersey, Fusilli’s birthplace.
Fusilli has published many short stories including “Chellini’s Solution,” which appeared in the 2007 edition of the Best American Mystery Stories, and “Digby, Attorney at Law,” which was nominated for the Edgar and Macavity Awards.
In 2005, Fusilli wrote Pet Sounds, his tribute to Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys’ classic album. Described as “an experiment in music journalism,” the book combines the rhythm and emotional weight of his fiction with the often-unorthodox observations of his music criticism for the Journal, for whom he began writing in 1983. Pet Sounds was translated to Japanese by the novelist Haruki Murakami.
Fusilli is married to the former Diane Holuk, a senior global communications consultant. They reside in New York City. For more information, visit www.jimfusilli.com.
