This novel is based off the classic serial of the same name. In the 1930’s Lamont Cranston aka the Shadow and his girlfriend, Margo Lane are ambushed and left for dead by Cranston’s archnemesis Shiwan Khan. Dying Lane and Cranston enter into a cryochamber to await a day where they might be saved. Flash forward to over a century later and teenager Maddy Gomes inherits something very strange, Cranston’s and Lane’s cyrochambers. And in this dystopian future where Khan’s legacy can still be felt, only the Shadow can possibly hope to defeat him. One thing I appreciate about Patterson is that he always gives his ghost writers credit for their work. Yes, his name might be front and center, but their names are still there.
