They Hide In The Shadows
An FBI agent uses his sight of the dead to solve a kidnapping case in Brooklyn and Indiana.
Michael Evans operates as an FBI agent with a unique gift: he sees the deceased. He applies this knowledge to track down America's most dangerous killers. The story begins with him hunting a predator in Brooklyn, New York. When Detective Les Anderson is ambushed and critically wounded, the investigation takes a personal turn. Anderson retreats to a hospital in Anderson, Indiana, a place Evans previously fled due to its haunted nature. Now, Evans must return to this location while managing his professional duties. The dead characters in the narrative are described as waiting anxiously for his arrival, suggesting that the supernatural elements will play a crucial role in resolving the crisis involving his injured friend.
This work sits within the contemporary horror and gothic fiction traditions popular in American publishing. It draws on the trope of the psychic detective, a staple of supernatural crime narratives. The setting moves between urban New York and rural Indiana, reflecting regional fears associated with small-town secrets and institutional hauntings common in modern genre literature.
