Shadow's Prisoners

Shadow’s Prisoners is filled with horror and cliffhanger chapters - a real page turner. In between the disgusting (rats) and the ugly (corpses) and the evil (plotters and schemers), there are also glimpses of warmth and humor that encourage the reader to stay hot on the trail with Peter, who, armed only with a flashlight, searches to find out who or what is killing so many animals and people in his town?
There’s the doctor who rides a motorcycle through town to take care of his patients. There’s the teacher who is a recycling fiend. There’s Peter’s father who is struggling to keep the old mortuary from becoming as dead as its clients. There’s Peter’s uncle who understands, more than anybody else, why it is necessary to brave the worst to discover the unnatural truth. And there’s the FBI agent who is forced to accept things way beyond his skill-set. And these are all the good folks.
Ultimately, this situation is for the birds—well actually a very special bird—who lives with Peter’s family and causes no end of havoc.
