A New Mystery; A Request For Help

Dear Readers: I was emailed emailed the below question:

Dear Literary Dick,
I'm looking for a recent successful murder mystery in which the reader knows the killer and the circumstances from the outset, well before the protaganist.

Thank you,
Richard A.

Any help in answering Richard A's question would be most appreciated...I suppose in the book Hannibal there is a section where the Italian detective is going after Hannibal and the reader knows that Hannibal is Hannibal but the detective is not sure. But I'm not sure that precisely fits as an answer for Richard A's question. Please email any suggestions!
