About the book
A standalone thriller with the compulsive drive of a Tom Clancy and a hint of Stephen King. Is Tom a ruthless killer—or the world’s last hope? On the run from authorities and his own demons, with the net closing in, Tom races from London’s dark underbelly to the heart of America in search of the truth behind a thirty-year-old mystery that could cost him everything—even his life. Meanwhile, journalist Helen is chasing the story of a lifetime… and carrying the child of a man the world wants dead. As political forces move behind the scenes, she’s swept into a deadly international power play where her unborn child is seen not as a life, but as leverage.

IN READERS’ WORDS
Reviews of Night Shadows
‘Chris Lewando ranks right up there with the Sci-Fi masters of bygone days! Night Shadows captured and held my attention from the very first page, not because of any high-tech wizardry, but because of the masterful writing skills. The characters are so real and life-like that the readers almost feels as if they are people he or she knows or had known in real life. The plot is so well crafted and woven that it comes across as something that might happen. It’s nonstop action from the very first page until the end. The ending is both surprising and satisfying but leaves you wondering if there will be a follow up.’
‘Fast moving, imaginative, fun, thought provoking.’
‘A standalone thriller with the compulsive drive of a Tom Clancy with a hint of Stephen King. Great scenes; pulled me right in. Vivid, visual, powerful.’
‘Skillfully and artfully executed, with gripping turns and twists and psychological depth. It's as good as any contemporary thriller of its type I've read.’
‘A really a good thriller, sophisticated and psychologically complex. It’s set up brilliantly. It’s credible, readable, and well-paced.’
