About this ebook
Jim Blake, Deputy Commissioner, leaves the comfort of his office and hits the street in search of the ultimate prey. His target, Connie Binhart, conman, counterfeiter and bank thief. The chase, breathtaking, extremely fast and spans four continents.
When they finally meet face to face, each wears an air of careless listlessness, yet each watches the others' every move, every moment. It was not hate that existed between them. It was something more dormant, more innate. It was something that had grown ineradicable; as fixed as the relationship between the hound and the hare.
Set at the turn of the century, The Shadow is Arthur Stringer's most intriguing crime thriller.
