The Management's Devil

In the gated community of Willowmere, an undercover detective infiltrates a property management firm that operates as a front for a sprawling criminal enterprise. As he sinks deeper into the rhythms of petty graft and enforced loyalty, the line between performance and identity blurs. Janet Malcolm's forensic gaze illuminates how the so-called devil is merely a neighbor who has honed ordinary appetites—for control, for belonging, for a second life—into something monstrous, until the final betrayal reveals that no one is immune.
