- "A whimpering came from the trunk of the Subaru as it hydroplaned in the
storm and its driver fought to maintain control of the 1985 station wagon.
The trunk’s occupant, Doctor Maggie Beatty, fought the nauseating acid that
rose in her throat. Lying on her stomach, her mouth gagged and taped, and
her wrists and ankles securely bound, she struggled to manage her hopeless
situation."
Master of the Shadows is a story of retribution and murder by a man whose pregnant
wife dies following emergency room treatment in a small town hospital. The husband,
unjustly accused of beating her to death, is released from custody when the medical
examiner realizes the woman died from a medication inappropriately prescribed by a
first-year physician. The husband avenges her by kidnapping a physician each year
on the anniversary of her death. Webster Kane, a detective with an otherwise
unblemished record, stands to lose his reputation in the community, his position on
the force, and his newfound love if he does not find the killer before another physician
is murdered.
“Smith is a writer of the American earth.”—Bob Middlemiss, Editor-in-Chief, Durbanhouse
