Cosby, who can’t recall a conversation with Harper in which he didn’t make some kind of reference to Ellroy, believes the two writers are more evenly matched than Harper would admit. “I think he’s Ellroy’s peer,” Cosby said. “[Harper] writes about California from a panoply of views, whether it’s the dirty white boys in the Inland Empire or the Technicolor Day-Glo dreamscape that is the entertainment industry in Los Angeles.

Whether they are uncovering L.A.’s darkest secrets or sitting in traffic, they are always relatable. “He takes these broken people and he puts them through the wringer. He helps them find their humanity in a way that’s not treacly and it’s not saccharine. It’s a hard-earned existential journey.”
“Everybody Knows” is poised to be Harper’s breakout novel. “I feel like everything he does,” Brubaker said, “is going to be a huge bestseller.” Cosby has no doubt big things are in store for his friend. “Honestly, I think he’s underrated as a writer, and I don’t know why because he’s your favorite crime writer’s favorite crime writer.”Harper, already working on another book featuring characters from “Everybody Knows,” said, “I think I have at least three books” set in this world.
