We Die in the Dark: The Hunt for Serial Killers in the Secret City Beneath Las Vegas

'An utterly unique masterwork' NAOMI KLEIN 'Brilliantly researched... Impossible to forget' JEFF GUINN

In this riveting true crime thriller, bestselling author and journalist Johann Hari hunts the serial killers stalking the sinister underworld of Las Vegas.

Hidden in the tunnels beneath the Las Vegas Strip is a secret city – one that the homeless have built, and the police are afraid to enter. When Johann Hari first ventured underground in 2011, he discovered something strange: people kept disappearing, or turning up dead.

Suspicions arose that a serial killer was preying on the homeless population living in the tunnels. But when a suspect was jailed and the murders continued, a darker truth started to emerge. Las Vegas appeared to have become a breeding ground for serial killers targeting some of the city’s most vulnerable people, and nobody knew why.

That mystery would become a fifteen-year obsession for Hari. Gaining unprecedented access to police files, prosecution and defence lawyers, and the families of the missing, his search for answers draws him into a chain of bizarre and tragic events. The kidnapping of a thirteen-year-old girl. The election of a mayor who befriended one of the worst murderers in American history. The rise of a cult-like Korean church predicting the end of the world in a nuclear holocaust. And, in a chilling final confrontation, he comes face to face with the killers themselves.

An astonishing page-turner, We Die in the Dark reveals a hidden side of America where the vulnerable can disappear without trace and killers can move unseen – and drags it blinking into the light.
