Synopsis

Norah Richter has recently moved from Berlin to Vienna, hoping to put her old life behind her. While walking to her new office one morning, Norah is approached by an elderly homeless woman who utters these chilling words: On the eleventh of February, you will kill a man called Arthur Grimm—with good reason. And of your own free will. Norah is unnerved—many years earlier, something terrible happened to her on February 11, but she chooses to shrug off the encounter as mere coincidence, until a few days later when she meets a man named Arthur Grimm. Soon Norah begins to have a dreadful suspicion: Does she have a good reason to hate this man she’s never met? Could he be responsible for the tragic event in her past? And can Norah make sure that justice is done without committing murder?

The Shadow - a vigilante, mysterious figure from the 1930's is still alive! The date is 2087 and the world is ravaged by greed and social discrimination. It is now ruled by a World President and his ruthless army. The poor are helpless, marginalized and exploited. It is in this dystopian world that......more

Goodreads review by Paxton on July 17, 2021

This book is getting a lot of crap. It could have been a lot worse. This isn’t THE Shadow, it’s a reimagining of the concept of the Shadow. Lamont Cranston and Margo Lane exist. Lamont is the Shadow. He has some of his dark powers. And due to being poisoned, and an experimental cryogenic process, La......more
