Read a sample Read a sample
A psychopathic Evangelist, a hermit, a little girl, and a barren woman are total strangers to one another until a set of uncontrollable circumstances place them on a collision course. It begins when the FBI raid the New Hope Compound, run by Reverend Davidson. The FBI believes that the reverend funds his organization by illegally selling stolen computer chips to foreign governments. The current raid, led by Agent MacGruder, turns into another Waco. However, Davidson manages to escape from the carnage he causes. An inadvertent witness, Spenser, manages to haul one of the children out of the mess and hide her with a friend from both Davidson's minion and the Feds, who both want the child. Eventually, the little girl ends up with Carole. The few children rescued from the calamity are being systematically killed in what appears to be a series of unfortunate accidents. Spenser and MacGruder know that Davidson is behind these atrocities as he searches for the missing child Spenser rescued. As MacGruder closes in on Davidson, Spenser and Carole try to protect the child from everyone, even as they wonder what is important about this innocent child. Elizabeth Forrest may not yet have the name recognition of Clive Barker or Stephen King, but her talent clearly rivals both of them. BRIGHT SHADOW is a frightening yet thrilling work that demonstrates what can happen when too much power is concentrated in a few organizations that ultimately abuse their power as their leaders lose their scruples. Ms. Forrest's examination of human group dynamics working in a corrupt environment is brilliant and ought to bring the awesome author a forest of new fans.
