The Man Who Knew
A reclusive genius with an uncanny gift for calculation becomes entangled in a sinister plot of greed and murder, and only his extraordinary mind can unravel the deadly scheme closing around the innocent. Wallace combines mystery, suspense, and a touch of the unusual in this brisk, ingenious thriller. Fast-moving and full of surprises, The Man Who Knew delivers the twists and tension that made him one of the most popular writers of his generation. An engaging puzzle of crime and detection, it offers the reliable page-turning thrills and clever plotting that were Wallace’s trademark and the secret of his immense success.
