ABOUT
THE BOOK

Kevin Grierson has a shadow with a mind of its own. It likes thrills, it likes power, it likes the rush of drugs and danger. From the suburbs of Boston to the streets of New York, from the false glamour of hustling and drug-dealing, Grierson’s Shadow keeps him walking the edge of of destruction and madness.

Then a simple robbery goes horribly wrong, and among the ruins of his life, Grierson finds the strength to banish his shadow and get on with living. Years later, sober and settled, at peace with his world, Kevin Grierson meets his Shadow again. And this time, it won’t go away.
