It only takes a second to die. Or to kill... Alexa Storm, a self-diagnosed psychopath, is no stranger to murder. The Death Chaser , as critics like to call her, has spent her career following serial killers around the country, blogging about their victims. Drawn to the choppy shores of the Pacific, Alexa discovers a community that harbors a dark secret... For the last year, someone has been killing homeless men in a brutal, ruthless fashion. And nobody is trying to stop it. But Gray's Harbor doesn't like outsiders. Especially ones who ask questions. With a rising body count, and her efforts to find answers thwarted at every turn, it's not long before Alexa earns the attention of a vicious predator. Will she uncover the truth in time to save herself from becoming the next victim? Or will the pull for revenge turn her into the very type of monster she's hunted her whole life? Because under the right circumstances, anyone can become a killer.

What happens when a stubborn mother, a jaded ex-cop, and a disturbed teenager play a deadly game of hide-and-seek with a psychopath? And when all their lives are at stake, can the three of them untangle each other's lies before becoming the killer's next victims? With a shocking twist you won't see coming, Where the Shadow Lies is a complex, twisted tale of suspense that'll keep you guessing until the end.
