Patterson, James: The President‘s Shadow

Lamont Cranston, or The Shadow, has never been prouder of Maddy Cranston, who‘s graduating college and starting an internship at a New York City public defender‘s office. But she still has a lot to learn. Especially about her undeveloped powers of shape-shifting and mind-control inherited from her mentor, Lamont. The two crime-fighters might look like father and daughter (or rather, great-great-granddaughter), but it‘s their mental powers that unites them. With Lamont investigating multiple deadly assaults on the world - the geological super-weapon ‘Terrageddon‘ and the deadly virus ‘Newbola‘ - Maddy goes undercover to investigate a trafficking ring, until an attack exposes her vulnerability . . . and unlocks her confidence. Only if Maddy and the Shadow can combine forces can they erase the threat of The President‘s Shadow. ___________________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON ‘It‘s no mystery why James Patterson is the world‘s most popular thriller writer ...
