As countless critics and millions of readers know, no one portrays the face
of evil as memorably and as chillingly as John Coyne, bestselling author of
Fury and The Legacy. Now, in CHILD OF SHADOWS, he gives us a novel
more disturbing and more enthralling than any he has written before, a novel
certain to be acclaimed as the shocker of the year.
Melissa Vaughn is a New York City social worker increasingly frustrated
with the ineffectiveness and heartlessness of the modern urban bureaucracy.
Then the boy named Adam enters her life.
Discovered scrounging amid the tunnels beneath Grand Central Station, Adam is a feral child, a product of a murky, subterranean world of violence. Marked by a completely hairless head and commanding silvery eyes, he is cursed with a mute, autistic nature,
yet blessed with uncanny powers, only gradually to be revealed.
Determined to save one child from the city's clutches, Melissa quits her
job and takes Adam to the remote and spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains of
North Carolina. Once there, Adam exhibits an astonishing artistic genius,
brilliantly painting vivid scenes of brutality and darkness on virtually every
available blank space.
Then Melissa begins to realize it is her secret nightmarish past, a past she has desperately tried to suppress, that Adam is depicting.
