CORRIDOR
A missing girl and a young Jane Doe put two reporters on the trail of a sophisticated predator in CORRIDOR, a female-driven 98,000-word commercial mystery.
Appealing to fans of As the Wicked Watch by Tamron Hall, Vanished by Kendra Elliot, and One-Shot Harry by Gary Phillips, readers will root for CORRIDOR’s vibrant characters, laugh at their quirks and the eclectic secondary cast, and careen through a visceral climax that will keep them engaged to the last page.
While a massive search is underway for a teenager abducted in broad daylight from a Los Angeles mall, an unidentified girl’s body lies in a wealthy residential street following a fatal hit and run.
The separate tragedies collide with an impact that shakes the sprawling city, as Black reporter Kenya McGowan and freelance news stringer Oscar Pine connect a trio of kidnappings to a monster who phones the mothers of the girls he takes to gloat.
A standalone with series potential, CORRIDOR peels the genteel finish off an affluent neighborhood, exposing the surprising danger smoldering like a coal seam fire behind its gates.
