Johann Hari
This is the strangest serial killer story ever told: Hidden in the tunnels beneath the Las Vegas Strip is a secret city—one that homeless people have built, and the police are afraid to enter. When Johann Hari began to explore it in 2011, he discovered something strange: The tunnel-dwellers kept disappearing, or turning up dead.
Both Hari and the Vegas police begin to suspect that a serial killer might be preying on the homeless population in and around the tunnels. But even when a suspect was jailed, the murders did not stop. It soon became clear that something even darker was taking place—that Las Vegas had become an incubator for serial and spree killers who target the homeless, and nobody knew why.
This mystery would become a fifteen-year obsession for Hari. His quest for the truth led him to investigate a chain of bizarre and tragic events, including the kidnapping of a thirteen-year-old girl, the election of a mayor who befriended one of the worst murderers in American history, and the rise of a cult-like Korean church predicting the end of the world in a nuclear holocaust. Hari gained unique access to the police investigation, the prosecutors, the defense, the families—and, in a shocking final confrontation, he came face to face with the killers themselves.
We Die in the Dark is an astonishing page-turner—one that reveals the dark trendlines in the United States that are increasingly spilling over into murder, and shows that serial killers are not what we think they are.

Reviews
“The best books in the true crime genre go far beyond descriptions of horrific crimes to probe the cultural inequities which too often doom the most helpless among us. We Die in the Dark, Johann Hari's brilliantly researched and written account of a killing spree targeting the homeless in Las Vegas, is, quite simply, the best of the best. It is stunning to read and afterward, impossible to forget.”—Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author of Manson and The Road to Jonestown
“We Die in the Dark is many stories in one: tragedy, history, dystopia, crime, mystery, love. Curious, kind, and compassionate to all he encounters, Hari is a superb guide through this complicated terrain. This might just be his best work.”—Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
“Again, Hari dives deep into one of the most troubling environments imaginable. Las Vegas emerges as the birthplace of all that is darkest in human experience—almost as a serial killer in its own right. He reminds us—as ever—that only love counts. It’s a harrowing read, unforgettably haunting and yet precise. An extraordinary feat of journalism and connection.”—Emma Thompson
“A gripping and harrowing story that is at once about an unforgettable cast of characters and about a culture unraveling at warp speed. Hari is a dogged detective, digging for years to crack the case, and a deep empath, bringing victim and perpetrator alive on the page. This is an utterly unique masterwork—I disappeared into it completely, unable to put it down.”—Naomi Klein, national bestselling author of Doppelganger
