Description

Plunge into the dark moral landscape of Los Angeles with The Serpent Club, the explosive debut thriller by Tom Coffey. This gripping, sensational novel follows cynical L.A. newspaper reporter Ted Lowe as he dives deep into the brutal rape and murder of 13-year-old Megan Wright.

Lowe’s investigation quickly uncovers the sordid truth behind Megan’s seemingly perfect life, revealing a thin veneer easily wiped away by a few questions. Suspects accumulate quickly—from the deadbeat surfer father to the cold mother, and most importantly, the handsome teenage boyfriend who is the son of one of California’s most powerful men.

As the case moves to a sensational trial, Lowe realizes that influential figures are actively trying to suppress the truth and that his own life may be in danger for seeing too much. This fast-paced, hypnotic thriller explores the intense moral and legal ground of a crime that could be ripped from today’s headlines. A must-read for fans of psychological suspense and gritty crime procedurals.
