Books like The Rabbit Factory by Marshall Karp
The sprawling Familyland theme park, once a modest Southern California animation studio, has become a multibillion‑dollar entertainment empire. When an actor playing the park’s beloved mascot, Rambunctious Rabbit, is brutally killed on the grounds, executive leadership fears the death will unravel the 1950s‑American ideal the park presents. They enlist LAPD detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs to keep the investigation quiet. As a second employee dies, the detectives expose a plot to destroy Familyland and punish an unknown enemy. With a third murder and a chilling threat that anyone associated with Lamaar will be targeted, Lomax and Biggs must untangle a dangerous conspiracy while protecting the park’s fragile reputation.
