Death in the Dark

By Bryce Moore From the author of The Perfect Place to Die , Don't Go to Sleep , and A Family of Killers comes another chilling historical mystery. As bombs light up the night sky, a killer waits in the shadows. London, 1942. Every night the city endures air raids and blackouts. But hiding in the chaos of the war is a murderer who stalks the streets. Someone is hunting women, then disappearing into the dark before anyone even knew he was there. When seventeen-year-old Mary Churchill finds her new friend Evelyn brutally murdered, she takes it upon herself to investigate. As she gets further into the case, she discovers more shocking murders. All women, all strangled and mutilated…all connected. With the city gripped by the fear of war and the police overwhelmed and understaffed, Mary risks everything to unmask a killer who thrives in the dark. Inspired by the infamous real-life case of the Blackout Ripper, Death in the Dark follows a fictional Mary Churchill as she pursues a killer through bombed-out streets and underground shelters to the heart of wartime London. If Mary doesn't bring the killer to justice, she could be his next victim.
