(1998)
A novel by

 
 
Although it's been many years since the death of his father - an infamous serial killer known as Shame - Caleb Parker still struggles to free himself from his father's dark shadow. Caleb wishes only for a normal life without being branded a "killer's son," but his dreams are shattered when a new string of murders surfaces that are all too reminiscent of Shame's terrible killings.


When the police label him the prime suspect, Caleb forges an unlikely partnership with true-crime author Elizabeth Line, a writer whose career began when she survived an encounter with Shame and who then went on to document his life - and death. As the body count begins to pile up, Elizabeth and Caleb come to the conclusion that one of them has been targeted by the killer, and a game of cat and mouse begins as they try to uncover the murderer's identity before becoming his next victims.


Brutal and unapologetic, Shame draws you into the mind of a serial killer with no chance of escape until the last page is turned.
