Description

In the sweltering heat of 1947 Los Angeles, the "Raptor," a serial murderer, prowls, casting a shadow of fear over aspiring starlets. Drawn by the allure of the city's glitz and glamor, May arrives, her heart heavy with loss, seeking a purpose. But the city's veneer of brightness conceals a darkness that envelopes her when Lilly, an enigmatic actress, ushers May into a world of opulence and intrigue. As acquaintances begin to disappear, May finds herself ensnared in a perilous game of cat and mouse, desperately piecing together fragments of truth while Agnes Crandall, an unyielding crime reporter, unearths a tangled web of deception and whispers of the occult within the city's elite circles. With each passing day, as the body count rises, May and Agnes race against time, their fates intertwined in a dangerous dance with the Raptor. Will they discover the truth before one of them becomes the next victim In a riveting blend of literary thriller and feminist noir, THE CITY BENEATH HER delivers an electrifying tale of suspense that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.
