Shadows

Do not embrace the shadows for they are all consuming and devour the soul leaving in their wake nothing but a great well of loneliness from which we all drink from time to time —Richard Casteel, 1887 ~ And so it begins. From the cobbled alleyways of Whitechapel to a fishing village on the Cornish coast. A series of brutal murders is committed, where the only clues to the killer’s identity are a copper coin and a poppy found at each crime scene. DCI Crawford assigned to the case soon establishes a link between a series of unsolved murders in 1888. Four suspects, a deserted manor house, and shadows.
