Shadow Man:

Grief is love's shadow.

The presence of absence.

An unbearable weight of emptiness.

-John Mark Green

Jeff Resnick and his brother, Dr. Richard Alpert, are on the front lines of that emotion when it comes to their current investigations for their new consulting firm, R&A Insights. As Jeff tries to help a comatose man, whose brewery is in trouble, transition to the great beyond, Richard's cold-case arson is heating up in the here and now.

While Jeff grapples with the death of a relationship and the end his client's life, Richard faces his own demons and jealousies until their worlds collide to fight against the evil that confronts them.

Shadow Man doesn't just deliver a mystery, it goes deeper, weaving grief, memory, and human connection into Jeff's and Richard's investigations. That blend of heart and suspense is what keeps long-running series like this not just alive, but thriving book after book.
