Shadows of Shadows

ICE-COLD THRILLER BY THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLER "WHISPERING AT THE WINDOW." A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. Your friend is dead, another is missing; And you wander alone through the forest, Through the twilight of dreams and... the dance of shadows, And the thorny path grows darker... You've all met teenagers like Charlie Crabtree. Dark imagination, sinister smile, always by himself... It seems this guy is capable of something very bad. That's exactly what Charlie did twenty-five years ago — committed a murder so shocking it inspired a number of imitators. Crabtree himself disappeared without a trace... like a shadow. All these years Paul Adams has been trying to erase the events from his memory: after all, both the murderer and the victim were his friends. But now, with his mother on her deathbed, Paul must return to his hometown. And the shadows of the past begin to come alive... First, one similar murder occurs, then another. And then Paul finds strange — and terrifying — signs in his home... "Extremely atmospheric and delightfully creepy." — Alex Michaelides, author of the worldwide bestseller "The Silent Patient" "At first, it's creepy. Then — frightening. Then — very frightening. And then… then, dear reader, proceed at your own risk." — A.J. Finn, author of the worldwide bestseller "The Woman in the Window" "A fascinating, dizzying read… As with all the best illusions, you feel not deception but wonder." — New York Times "A stunning finale that will linger in your memory for a long time." — Daily Express "Before this tightly woven story concludes, there are many surprises in store for you… A great chilling thriller. If you enjoy the works of Stephen King, you will likely enjoy North's new novel as well." — Library Journal
