FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FAMISHED
Dark and intense, with an M. Night Shyamalan-level twist.
~Kristen Mae, bestselling author of the Conch Garden series
OLD SINS. NEW BLOOD.
Deputy Sheriff William Shannahan doesnt feel like a detective, at least not like the ones he admires on TV. Not that he needs to be; the small town of Graybel, Mississippi, is a peaceful place, with acres of farmland, neighbors who always take care of their own, and noise from the outside world muted by a hundred miles of forest.
That silence is about to be broken.
When a child is found dead in the woods, the medical examiner deems it a dog attack. But the paw prints belong to something far larger than any creature in the Mississippi forests, and what animal would remove the victims eyes? Though no one believes him, William cant shake the feeling that a human killer lurks in the shadowed woods.
And his girlfriend, Cassie, has a son the same age as the victim.
Cassie Parker was raised amid horrors shes long pushed from her mind, but her scars wont let her forget. Nor do the hallucinations, dreams so vivid she can feel and smell and taste them. And no one is more terrified than Cassie when another victim is found mauled to deathbecause this body has been drained of blood. She knows exactly what type of person would sacrifice a child, and why theyre after hers. But how can she explain it to William?
This is Williams chance to act like a detective, to protect the woman and child hes desperate to save. Pushing back against prejudice and presumption, he uncovers a trail of cruelty that spans decades, but each clue brings him closer to a truth more horrifying than killer beasts in the forest. For concealed beneath small-town politics is knowledge that will shatter everything he knows to be true about his townand the people in it.
A compulsively readable thriller in the vein of Cujo, The Girl on the Train, and M. Night Shyamalans The Village, Shadows Keep is a mind-bending exploration of obsession, desperation, and how far well go to protect those we love.
Genre: Mystery

Praise for this book
"O'Flynn weaves elements of the procedural and the occult into a masterful psychological thriller replete with staggering, unpredictable twists. Readers should beware any notion that they can predict the ending of Shadow's Keep. Believe me, reader, you cannot." - Wendy Heard
