The Murderer's Shadow

"A lie buried in silence. A shadow born to kill. Confession is the only escape." How far can a lie follow you? Detective Adrian Cole buried a terrible secret nine years ago. One mistake. One boy. One silence that should have been confessed. But silence has a shape. It breathes. It kills. Now a series of murders haunts the city-each crime scene marked with the same word Adrian once whispered to himself: CONFESS. As bodies fall and suspicion tightens around him, Adrian realizes the impossible: his shadow has come alive. It is hunting the guilty truth he refused to face. And it won't stop until he speaks it aloud-or loses everything he loves. Pushed to the edge, betrayed by his partner, and with Sarah-the only woman who ever trusted him-marked as the next victim, Adrian must decide: protect his life with another lie, or destroy it with the truth.
