Frankie Randall in the Shadow of Childhood

Frankie Randall in the Shadow of Childhood is a sequel to Jack and Lydia in the Shadow of Sabotage and A Shadow of Death in the Woods. Beautiful Frankie has an ugly secret, which is painfully revealed in this novel. Concurrently, Jack meets two would-be rapists, starting a string of violence that proves very difficult to stop. The Cat's attitude appears to have worsened, leading to an interaction with the police. The Shadow series is about bad things happening to good people and how violence can spiral out of control. For earthly redemption, we need to look to fellow human beings for friendship and love. That is the only way we can make it through the night.
