Crime & Mystery

When Nina finds the dead body of a woman who could easily be her twin, she must divide the men in her life into two groups- the ones she can trust and the ones who might be the killer.

A refreshing new take on the noir-thriller genre, The Spiral is perfect for fans of Tana French and Stieg Larsson.

It's 1979, and nineteen-year-old Nina Esposito survives gritty

Greenwich Village by tending bar with plenty of sarcasm and elbow

grease. She can navigate the lewd customers, dirty streets, and

danger-after-dark of NYC until a serial killer arrives on the scene

targeting women who look exactly like her. Now survival for Nina means

finding the killer before he finds her.

She has the

constant feeling that she is prey surrounded by predators and every man

she meets could be the killer- the guy following her on the subway, her

leering acting coach, the restaurant owner pressuring her for a date.

But is she really a target, or are the demons of her past clouding her

judgment? Detective Frankie Lopez seems to be on her side-but she knows

that trusting the wrong person could make her the next victim.

Set

in crime-ridden New York City, when the subways were covered in

graffiti and the burned-out buildings of the East Village were homes for

squatters and punk rock teens, this psychological thriller is a dark

murder mystery, one that will keep you guessing until the very end when

the final twist is revealed.
