About the book
Long before the likes of Alex Cross, Michael Bennett, and Jack Reacher, there existed The Shadow! James Patterson, the world-renowned author, brings to life one of America's most legendary thriller heroes.
Only two individuals are privy to the fact that 1930s socialite Lamont Cranston is also secretly the Shadow, a vigilante fighting for justice. These two individuals are his beloved Margo Lane and his archenemy Shiwan Khan. When Khan launches a surprise attack on the couple, they must bet everything on a slim chance of survival... in a time yet to come.
A hundred and fifty years later, Lamont wakes up in a world that is both unfamiliar and oddly familiar. The first person he encounters is Maddy Gomes, a teenager with her own enigmatic secrets, including knowledge of the Shadow's legend.
What's even more unsettling is that Khan's influence still lingers over the city and its inhabitants. No one comprehends the perils of thwarting him in this new reality better than Lamont Cranston. And only the Shadow realizes that he is the sole individual capable of triumphing before more innocent lives are sacrificed.
