In the latest thriller from critically acclaimed Michele W. Miller comes a "superbly written tale of urban survivors fighting to save themselves once more." ( Publishers Weekly). A gripping reimagining that weaves together supernatural suspense with historic events of the early 1990s. As New York City's crack epidemic rages, Raven has overcome her addiction and will soon begin law school. But night terrors have begun to haunt her and her friends. Many of them return to drug use, disappear, or commit bizarre acts of violence. A mysterious new drug epidemic grips the city, while police corruption, a U.S. attorney campaigning for mayor, and riots hamstring the city's defense. Raven and her friends-along with a journalist trying to help a teenage prostitute-must stand up to the sadistic man behind the chaos or lose all they've gained. Yet, as recovering addicts, they are the most vulnerable to his inexplicably attractive powers. The Lower Power combines the supernatural and social history for fans of Whitley Strieber's The Wolfen and Gabino Iglesias's The Devil Takes You Home.
