Before Alex Cross, before Michael Bennett, before Jack Reacher, there
was The Shadow! The world's bestselling author, James Patterson,
reimagines one of America's iconic thriller heroes.
Only two people know that 1930s society man Lamont Cranston has a secret
identity as the Shadow, a crusader for justice. One is his greatest
love, Margo Lane, and the other is fiercest enemy, Shiwan Khan. When
Khan ambushes the couple, they must risk everything for the slimmest
chance of survival . . . in the future.
A century and a half later, Lamont awakens in a world both unknown and
disturbingly familiar. The first person he meets is Maddy Gomes, a
teenager with her own mysterious secrets, including a knowledge of the
legend of the Shadow.
Most disturbing, Khan's power continues to be felt over the city and its
people. No one in this new world understands the dangers of stopping him
better than Lamont Cranston. And only the Shadow knows that he's the one
person who might succeed before more innocent lives are lost.
