Johann Hari
Beneath the dazzling lights of Las Vegas lies a secret city that even the police are afraid to enter. In a vast labyrinth of sewage tunnels directly below the Strip, more than a thousand homeless people live in darkness. For years, they have been invisible to the millions who pass through the casinos, hotels and nightclubs above.
When bestselling author and journalist Johann Hari began to venture into this mirror-world of makeshift homes and unwritten rules in 2011, he discovered something strange. People living in the tunnels kept disappearing, and nobody knew why. Over fifteen years of reporting – with unprecedented access to police files, prosecution and defence lawyers, and the families of the missing – Hari uncovered a horrifying truth. The homeless were being hunted by serial killers.
As he follows the trail in an effort to expose those responsible, Hari encounters an extraordinary cast of Vegas outsiders and eccentrics. The mayor who befriended one of the worst serial killers in American history. The first person ever convicted of attempting to kill a mannequin. A Korean doomsday cult warning that a nuclear holocaust is on the horizon. And, in a chilling final confrontation, he comes face to face with the murderers themselves.
At once a gripping true crime investigation and a haunting portrait of a city in rapid decline, 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.
