THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE: A Novel

di JOYCE J. JORDAN (Autore)

Gift Eno Okon, 2025

He was the friendly neighbor who entertained at children's parties. The trusted contractor everyone called when they needed help. The man who volunteered at the hospital and never missed church on Sunday. He was also responsible for thirty-three murders. When sixteen-year-old Danny Morrison vanishes after his shift at the pharmacy, Detective Sarah Chen is the only one who refuses to believe he ran away. In a town where everyone knows everyone, where trust is currency and reputation are everything, Sarah's suspicions point to the most unlikely suspect: Malcolm Pierce, Pinewood's most respected citizen. But what do you do when the evidence leads to someone the entire community would defend with their lives? As Sarah digs deeper, she uncovers a pattern of missing young men spanning nearly a decade, runaways and drifters, the kind of victims no one looks for. The kind Malcolm knew society had already forgotten. With each revelation, the wall between Sarah and the truth grows higher: a sealed juvenile record, a perfectly crafted alibi, and a town desperate to protect the man they think they know. Then Malcolm makes his first mistake. And Sarah realizes she's not just hunting a killer—she's racing to stop him before he kills again. When the crawl space beneath Malcolm's house is finally opened, investigators find twenty-nine bodies buried in the darkness. Four more in the forest. Thirty-three young men whose families never stopped searching. Thirty-three lives stolen by the devil in disguise. The Devil in Disguise is a haunting psychological thriller about the evil that hides behind a friendly smile, the communities that choose comfort over truth, and one detective's relentless pursuit of justice for the victims everyone else forgot. Perfect for fans of Mindhunter, The Stranger Beside Me, and I'll Be Gone in the Dark. Some monsters don't lurk in shadows. They live next door.
