The Shadows (International Edition)

The Shadows by Alex North is a chilling psychological thriller about murder, memory, dreams, and the terrifying ways the past can return.

Twenty-five years ago, Charlie Crabtree committed a shocking murder that became infamous online and inspired disturbing copycat crimes. Paul Adams knew both Charlie and the victim, and he has spent years trying to move beyond what happened. But when his mother’s health declines, Paul reluctantly returns to his hometown and finds old fears waiting for him.

A new copycat murder is under investigation, Paul’s mother insists something is inside her house, and he begins to feel that someone is watching him. Most unsettling of all, Charlie Crabtree disappeared after the original killing—and was never seen again.

Dark, atmospheric, and suspenseful, this is a strong choice for readers who enjoy psychological horror, crime fiction, eerie mysteries, and twist-filled thrillers.
