Some Choose Darkness

More about the book

As a forensic reconstructionist, Rory Moore illuminates cold-case homicides by uncovering overlooked crime scene details. After her father's burial, she receives a call that revives a decades-old case. In the summer of 1979, five women vanished in Chicago, with a predator known as The Thief leaving no bodies or clues. A package from a woman named Angela Mitchell, who seems to have identified him through her unconventional investigation, arrives, but before police can interrogate her, she disappears. Now, forty years later, The Thief is up for parole for Angela's murder—the only charge the DA could substantiate. However, a cryptic file Rory discovers in her father's law office hints at deeper layers to the case and Angela's story, obscured for decades. As Rory reconstructs Angela's final days, she uncovers shocking revelations that entangle her in the mystery surrounding Angela and her fate. Connecting past and present, Rory reveals dark truths about the victim, her father, and The Thief, leading her down a winding path where nothing is as it seems. As she delves deeper, Rory is unprepared for the chilling reality that unfolds.
