Sordid Shadows - E-book - ePub

A writer looking for success . Pulp fiction author Carl Kenning writes shocking stories. Violence and perversion are his favourite themes, and making money is his goal. Naked, two gunshot wounds to her chest, a red scarf knotted around her neck . The vicious murder of a young nurse, which copies the murder of a schoolgirl thirty years ago, is just the kind of thing Carl likes to write about. His plan is simple: churn out a book and pocket the profit. But this time things aren't that easy. Two women-an ambitious journalist and a police officer with a troubled life-want the murderer behind bars and decades-old wrongs to be paid for.
Nothing will stop them. But Carl stands in their way and is dragged into an unsettling game of cat-and-mouse. A crime is resurfacing from the past. A crime nobody wants to remember. When more violent deaths enter the headlines, and the fear of a psychopathic killer on the prowl grips the audience, Carl gets more than he has bargained for. The lesson he learns is hard: never dig into anyone's past, or you may put your own life in danger, and the lives of the people you care about! Who is ready to face the sordid shadows haunting their dreams?
