She has built her life on finding the truth. He has built his on concealing it.
London, 1911. Detective Lillian Michaels is accustomed to being underestimated. A Black woman moving between fashionable drawing rooms and a police force that questions her place, she is determined to let her work speak for itself.
Eric Gibbs is behind bars for the murders of fifteen women. London considers the case closed. Lillian cannot ignore the weaknesses in the evidence, even as fresh killings demand her attention.
Her enquiries lead her to Eric's nephew, Charles Gibbs: a wealthy solicitor whose composure intrigues her almost as much as his guarded answers. What begins with questions soon becomes an attachment neither expected.
But Charles knows precisely why the evidence against his uncle deserves another look. He put it there.
He has spent years persuading the world to trust him. Now, drawn to the woman who could expose him, he wants a future that depends upon her never discovering his past.
As their lives become entwined, Lillian's pursuit of justice threatens everything she has come to cherish. The questions she once asked across an interview table must now be asked of the man she loves.
The Shadow Within is a historical psychological thriller about the intimacy of deception and the courage required to confront it.
