Everybody KnowsBy Jordan Harper(416pp, Faber, £8.99, pb)Reviewed by S J WatsonMissouri-born and LA-based, Harper has worked in the past as a music journalist and film critic, and now writes for TV (or, more accurately at the moment, strikes for TV). He emerged with a collection of noirish short stories, Love and Other Wounds, in 2015, and quickly established himself as a hard-edged writer in the tradition of James Ellroy or Dashiell Hammett.
