Learn moreIn The Lion, The Lamb, The Hunted, Andrew E. Kaufman thrilled readers with a bestseller of psychological suspense. In the follow-up, Darkness & Shadows, he ratchets up the tension, weaving a masterful web of intrigue.
The only woman Patrick Bannister ever loved has died…again.
Struggling professionally and reeling from the psychological wounds left by a horribly abusive mother, Patrick is driven over the edge by a news report. A wealthy socialite couple has been murdered, and while the wife’s name isn’t familiar, her face certainly is. It’s his first and only love, Marybeth, the woman he lost to a horrific fire years ago.
Is he losing his mind?
Patrick’s obsession to find the truth sends him scouring records and documents that lead him to a shocking discovery: there’s no evidence Marybeth ever lived or, for that matter, ever died. Was the love of Patrick’s life just a product of his abused psyche?
The truth may kill him.
His quest for answers takes him on a twisted mental odyssey that forces him to question his own reality. He might not be able to trust his memories and perceptions of the past, but the answers may still lie in the darkest recesses of his mind.
But Patrick will soon find out that by stoking the flames from that long ago fire, he’s blazing a path straight into danger. And this time, not only is he about to get burned—he could also end up losing his life.
Andrew E. Kaufman is a former journalist living in Southern California with his Labrador retrievers, two horses, and a very bossy Jack Russell terrier who thinks she owns the place.
Andrew became one of the highest-grossing independent authors this year with combined sales reaching into the six-figure mark. The Lion, The Lamb, The Hunted was on Amazon's Top 100 bestsellers list for more than one hundred days, where it became their seventh bestselling title out of more than one million e-books available nationwide and number one in its genre. His first novel, While the Savage Sleeps, also made the Top 100 and was number one in its genre.
Andrew was also a contributor to Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cancer Book, where he chronicled his battle with the disease.
After receiving his journalism and political science degrees at San Diego State University, Andrew began his writing career as an Emmy-nominated news writer/producer, working in San Diego, then in Los Angeles. For more than ten years, he worked as a broadcast journalist, covering many nationally known stories.
Reviews
“This is a story about damage and survival, about the past and the future, and about facing the truth behind the pain. I’ve never read a better mix of engrossing suspense that also slammed me with heartfelt and raw emotion.” —Jessica Park New York Times Bestselling Author of Flat-Out-Love and Left Drowning
