Red City On Edge takes readers on a captivating thrill ride where history intertwines with contemporary anxieties, and citizens grapple not only with the menace of the killer at large, but also with the struggle of carving out space for ambition, love, and desire in the mysterious and ever-changing birthplace of a lost empire.
Red City On Edge is loosely based on the true story of a serial killer who terrorized the citizens of Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 2003. The police never identified a suspect or determined the motives of the monster who haunted the neighborhoods of The City of Bones. Red City On Edge imagines a glimpse into the multiple identities of a lonely man living on the edge, desperately trying to survive before he succumbs to madness.
