Chicago Loop – Paul Theroux

Description

Chicago Loop by Paul Theroux is a chilling psychological thriller that explores the dark and twisted side of human nature. Set against the backdrop of a steamy Chicago summer, the novel follows Parker Jagoda, a seemingly respectable businessman with a wife, child, and suburban home. Beneath this facade, however, lies a monstrous double life. By day, he is the model of civility and success, but by night, he prowls the shadows, hunting vulnerable individuals who are drawn to him by promises of romance and a future—only to become prey to his twisted desires.

Theroux weaves a gripping narrative, diving deep into the psychology of a man whose dark obsessions consume him. As Parker’s double life unravels, the tension builds, and readers are drawn into a world where appearances are deceiving, and the line between normality and madness becomes terrifyingly thin.
