Tell Me Everything is the gripping account of a historic sexual assault case and the private investigator who assisted in breaking it open. It is part memoir and half literary true crime.
Erika Krouse has a face like that. People confess to one another, saying things like, "I don't know why I'm telling you this." In autumn 2002, Krouse takes a new contract position as a private investigator looking into litigation. She immediately discovers she has no clue what she's doing, even if the part looks ideal for her. Then, a lawyer by the name of Grayson gives her the task of looking into a sexual assault that occurred a year ago at a party involving a college student who was assaulted by football players and recruiters. Knowing that the task is too intimate given her own past of sexual abuse, Krouse realizes she should decline it. Nevertheless, motivated by Grayson's belief that he might assist alter the course of history indefinitely—and maybe even she could—she accepts the task.
Over the next five years, Krouse learns everything she can about P. I. technique, tracking down witnesses and investigating a culture of sexual assault and harassment ingrained in the university’s football program. But as the investigation grows into a national scandal and a historic civil rights case, she finds herself increasingly consumed. She has to find out how to help win the case without losing herself as the case and her life crumble simultaneously.
