is.” —Booklist

sensitive, look at survival.” —Bookreporter

three sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek endured from their own

“A true-crime tour de force.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times
bestselling author of No Stone Unturned

chronicles in this book. Olsen has done it again, giving readers a
glimpse into a murderous duo that’s so chilling, it will have your

“A suspenseful, horrific, and yet fascinating character study of an
incredibly dysfunctional and dangerous family by Gregg Olsen, one
of today’s true-crime masters.” —Caitlin Rother, New York Times
bestselling author
“There’s only one writer who can tell such an intensely horrifying,
psychotic tale of unspeakable abuse, grotesque torture, and
horrendous serial murder with grace, sensitivity and class…A
riveting, taut, real-life psychological suspense thrill ride…All at
once compelling and original, Gregg Olsen’s If You Tell is an
instant true-crime classic.” —M. William Phelps, New York Times
bestselling author
“We all start life with immense promise, but in our first minute,
we cannot know who’ll ultimately have the greatest impact on our
lives, for better or worse. Here, Gregg Olsen—the heir apparent to
legendary crime writers Jack Olsen and Ann Rule—explores the dark
side of that question in his usual chilling, heartbreaking prose.
Superb and creepy storytelling from a true-crime master.” —Ron
Franscell, author of Alice & Gerald: A Homicidal Love Story
“A master of true crime returns with a vengeance. After a decade
detour into novels, Gregg Olsen is back with a dark tale of
nonfiction from the Pacific Northwest that will keep you awake long
after the lights have gone out. The monster at the heart of If You
Tell is not your typical boogeyman, not some wandering drifter or
man in a van. No. In fact, they called her…mother. And yet this
story is about hope and renewal in the face of evil and how three
sisters can find the goodness in the world after surviving the
worst it has to offer. Classic true crime in the tradition of In
Cold Blood and The Stranger Beside Me.” —James Renner, author of
True Crime Addict
“This nightmare walked on two legs and some of her victims called
her mom. In If You Tell, Gregg Olsen documents the horrific mental
and physical torture Shelly Knotek inflicted on everyone in her
household. A powerful story of cruelty that will haunt you for a
long time.” —Diane Fanning, author of Treason in the Secret
City
“Bristling with tension, gripping from the first pages, Gregg
Olsen’s masterful portrait of children caught in the web of a
coldly calculating killer fascinates. A read so compelling it kept
me up late into the night, If You Tell exposes incredible evil that
lived quietly in small-town America. That the book is fact, not
fiction, terrifies.” —Kathryn Casey, bestselling author of In Plain
Sight
