Shadow Faces

by Rayce Bannon

What we fear, we create. Matt Curtis, a senior manager with a consulting company, is overwhelmed with self-doubt. His personal life is falling apart, and his job is like quicksand, threatening to swallow him at any moment. But his ultimate fear is being alone. That fear has come to call on Curtis in the form of a supernatural creature - a tall, slender man wearing an expensive black suit and answering to the name Lazarus Douleur. On a mission to terrorize Curtis, Douleur removes one woman after another from Curtis's life through a series of bizarre and brutal murders that leave police baffled and Curtis filled with grief, stricken with terror, and looking suspect. Curtis must decide whether he will stand idly by and let Douleur systematically dismantle his life - and kill innocent women in the process - or muster the courage to wrestle his fear and use it to his advantage.
