How many more times must I strike before you get the message?
He would show all of them. He wasn’t a man to let a woman get the best of him. Those women would realize where their proper place was in the world.
The Silver Shadow is a factionalized accounting of the true story of The Capital Hill Thug. The early 1900’s found Denver experiencing many changes, not the least of which was more freedom for women. Working outside the home, women were seen in many places, without the accompanying male escorts of the past. For the Silver Shadow, this was a huge problem - one he was sure God wanted him to fix.
Be prepared to hang on to the edge of your seat, don’t scream and just pray that Detective Edwin Price of the Denver Police Department will be able to traverse all the plot twists before this perpetrator kills again. Reporter Polly Blythe, trying to establish a name for herself, becomes the spokesperson against this crime. But when events bring this very close to home, will she become the latest victim?
