Shadows Are Falling

Fans who enjoy dark, suspenseful mystery novels with some truly terrifying elements will find this tale to be a perfect read.

Late on November 19, 1982, in the quiet town of Fishbone, Montana, a ten-year-old boy is slaughtered in his bedroom. Just down the hall, his older sister moves through the house, unaware of the horror unfolding only feet away.

The nature of his death defies explanation, neither entirely human nor animal.

Hundreds of miles away, Dr. Robert Qiu, a brilliant but haunted medical examiner, wears the dead like a second skin. Witness to a brutal double homicide years earlier, the memory shadows him still.

When the boy's murder plunges Fishbone into terror, Sheriff Peter Stubbe calls in Qiu, convinced only he can uncover the truth.

But when Qiu arrives in this frozen, neon-lit town, he finds a mystery that reaches far beyond the boy’s murder.

As a malevolent force stirs beneath the town’s quiet surface, Robert must confront horrors both supernatural and personal, before the shadows claim another victim.

Some ghosts don’t stay buried.

Some monsters aren’t born—they’re awakened.

What waits in the man, beast... or something far more sinister?

And when it comes for Dr. Qiu, will he uncover the truth before he becomes its next victim?
