Shadows of Justice

When a determined reporter and his homicide detective sister link the disappearance of a missing Black woman to the highly publicized case of a vanished suburban housewife, they uncover a terrifying criminal conspiracy in this gripping crime thriller.

"Brian Copeland and Topher Davis are back with a vengeance. Shadows of Justice is rich with everything that made Outraged a compelling debut: page-turning action, characters we care about, vivid sense of place, and a mind-bending whodunit-all seasoned with welcome shots of mordant humor." -New York Times bestselling author JONATHAN KELLERMAN

When Kristen Promes leaves her family's annual Fourth of July barbecue in an upscale Bay Area suburb to pick up her daughter's playmate, she is never seen again. The discovery of her abandoned vehicle along the short route sparks a media frenzy, thrusting the mysterious disappearance of the affluent suburbanite into national headlines.

San Francisco investigative reporter Topher Davis and his dedicated team dive into the high-profile case. Amidst the relentless coverage, Josephine "Josie" Walker from East Oakland seeks out Topher, revealing that her daughter, Danica, has been missing much longer than Kristen and without any attention from authorities or the media. Desperate for help, Josie pleads with Topher to cover her daughter's story.

Enlisting the help of his sister, San Francisco PD Homicide Detective Lynn Sloan, Topher attempts to retrace Danica Walker's final footsteps. As they unravel the layers of her life, they unearth buried connections between the two cases. Will Topher and Lynn expose the perpetrator before another life is claimed, or are they now mere pawns in a more perilous and deadly game?
