In the peaceful suburbs of Baltimore, a horrific tragedy stunned the community - respected attorney John Browning, his wife Tamara, and their two young sons were ruthlessly executed in their idyllic family home. With no signs of break-in and nothing of value taken, who could be behind the merciless slaughter of this perfect family? Veteran investigative journalist Sam Shadow delivers an unsettling psychological exposé recounting the chilling 2008 murders.

With insightful analysis of the criminal psyche, he creates a slowly tightening vice, drawing readers ever closer to an explosive, devastating truth. A profoundly disturbing true crime saga, the book offers a window into unfathomable darkness lurking behind suburban doors. Shadow navigates unthinkable horror and primal fears with equal parts suspense and nuanced examination of larger social questions. Meticulously reported yet reading like a thriller, Shadow maintains a hypnotic intensity from start to shocking finish in this gripping tale that explores the ripple effects of evil upon innocence forever ruptured. ***This is a work of fiction.
