In this gripping new thriller from the global bestseller, vigilante hero Lamont Cranston and his young protégé seek justice in New York City. For over 150 years, Lamont Cranston has been The Shadow. Possessed with an array of mental and physical powers, Cranston-a New York society-man turned crusader-uses his abilities in pursuit of justice. When a series of deadly natural disasters strike the planet, The Shadow immediately sets out to identify the human threat... A disgruntled graduate student? The power-hungry President of the Americas? Or could it be Shiwan Khan, The Shadow's fiercest enemy? Standing with The Shadow and his crime-fighting associates are his long love, Margo Lane, and his great-great granddaughter, Maddy. Will they triumph or perish? Whether they rise or fall, they'll do it together. ___________________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON 'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ...
