I was a huge fan of Alex North's The Whisper Man and the plot of his new thriller, The Shadows, sounds just as creepy good! North has a way of putting you in the book so that you feel all the chilling things his characters go through. In this book, the protagonist has escaped his hometown and a gruesome killing, only to be forced to come back home to take care of his ailing mother. He's once again confronted with the evil he tried so hard to escape!
