agent.Crystal confronts her past assailant: to make them pay for
their crime or risk exposure Then the killings start. First Bill,
then Tim. What is the conspiracy? Who was next on the list? What
was lurking in the shadows? Was it Crystal or was someone trying to
set her up for these murders? Again, Eve, author of the critically-
acclaimed novel, Tangled, uses very brilliant nets of intrigue and
suspense in Shadows that keeps the reader guessing to the very end.
