The Shadows

Everyone who knew Charlie Crabtree as a teenager suspected he was capable of something terrible — and twenty-five years ago, he proved it, murdering a fellow student before disappearing entirely, inspiring copycat killings ever since. Paul Adams, who was friends with both Crabtree and his victim, has spent decades trying to move past it, but his mother's declining health pulls him back to his childhood town just as a new copycat murder makes headlines.

As his mother insists something is in the house and Paul senses he's being watched, Alex North builds tension toward the unsettling truth about what really happened to Crabtree after the original killing.
