Description
Dix Steele, a cynical veteran, has moved to Los Angeles after the war. A city gripped by fear, it's home to a strangler preying on young women. When Dix bumps into an old friend, now working on the case, he becomes enthralled with the investigation. Meeting his new neighbour, Laurel Gray, adds excitement to his life. But the killer is still at large, and Laurel may be in greater danger than she thinks. In this gripping novel, Hughes weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue. As Dix Steele navigates his new life, he finds himself drawn into a world of crime and detection. With its complex characters and twisty plot, In a Lonely Place is a gripping read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This 1950 film adaptation, starring Humphrey Bogart as Dix Steele, brings Hughes' novel to life in a way that's both faithful and compelling.
