In Rapture: The Innocent Disappear First, the second instalment of Elliott Hall’s Strange Trilogy, America teeters on the brink of totalitarianism.
Under a demagogue president, with Jews being repatriated to the Holy Lands and religious police patrolling the streets, the country’s descent into a fascist regime accelerates. Private investigator Felix Strange, no stranger to the changing landscape, is pulled into a mystery when an old acquaintance, Isaac Taylor, disappears—and not just disappears, but according to government records, never existed. As more people vanish without a trace, Strange races against time to uncover the truth, but in doing so, he risks becoming one of the disappeared himself.
Rapture is a gripping and action-packed noir thriller, blending a chilling dystopian vision with fast-paced storytelling.
