About this ebook
Det. Darlene O’Hara uncovers a missing college girl’s deadly double life in the #1 New York Times bestselling author’s “killer of a thriller” (Dennis Lehane).
New York City, 2005. Escaping a troubled past, Francesca Pena came to the city and reinvented herself. At New York University, her beauty and charisma are the envy of her privileged pals, yet no one knows the real Francesca—who, after a night of drinking, is now missing.
Detective Darlene O’Hara of the Seventh Precinct sets out to find Pena. But when the case turns high-profile and Homicide is called in, O’Hara—whose binge drinking exacerbates the massive chip on her shoulder—refuses to let go. Risking both her and her partner’s careers, O’Hara defies NYPD brass and Homicide legend Patrick Lowry to pursue her own investigation.
From NYU’s ivory towers to Brooklyn tattoo parlors and skanky strip clubs, O’Hara closes in on her prey. But she has to move fast, because Lowry and the NYPD are about to make a devastating mistake that will leave the real killer free.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nineteen year old Francesca Pena is an NYU sophomore on a track and cross-country scholarship. A talented and motivated student, she has risen from a socially disadvataged background. On Thanksgiving Eve she disappears after meeting some friends for drinks at a bar near Rivington, New York. Her disappearance is reported two days later by a former boyfriend who has been staying with her. A week after her disappearance her violated body is found in a toilet by the East River and the former boyfriend becomes the primary suspect.The story that Detective Darlene O'Hara from New York's 7th Precinct and her partner Serge Krekorian eventually unearth clearly demonstrates that no-one knew who Francesca Pena really was. The revelation owes much to Darlene's persistence and determination, and her inner ability to sense when she is not being told the truth. There are things that Darlene learns about Pena that just don't add up, timelines that just don't work out. The case becomes high-profile one, with plenty of red herrings, and mis-judgements. Darlene is eventually suspended, and she and Serge complete their investigation under threat of severe disciplinary measures. The chance sighting of a distinctive tattoo eventually sends Darlene hurtling along the path that results in the arrest of Francesca's murderer.I changed my mind about SHADOWS STILL REMAIN many times. It is noir, revealing a criminal underbelly in New York's city life that we always suspected was there, but hoped wasn't. I really don't think I enjoyed reading it, but on the other hand it was cleverly written. I wanted to know the final outcome, but wanted it to be over. I really like the character of Darlene O'Hara, and hope that I have the chance to meet her again. It is a novel that will mean much more to New York readers than it did to me.
