Shame

Nominated for the Anthony and Macavity Awards for Best Mystery Novel of the Year.Although it's been many years since the death of his father-an infamous serial killer known as Shame-Caleb Parker still struggles to free himself from his father's dark shadow. Caleb wishes only for a normal life without being branded a "e;killer's son,"e; but his dreams are shattered when a new string of murders surfaces that are all too reminiscent of Shame's terrible killings.When the police label him the prime suspect, Caleb forges an unlikely partnership with true-crime author Elizabeth Line, a writer whose career began when she survived an encounter with Shame and who then went on to document his life-and death. As the body count begins to pile up, Elizabeth and Caleb come to the conclusion that one of them has been targeted by the killer, and a game of cat and mouse begins as they try to uncover the murderer's identity before becoming his next victims.Brutal and unapologetic, Shame draws you into the mind of a serial killer with no chance of escape until the last page is turned.
