The shadow
A story of two fathers who must fight the ghosts of their pasts to keep their family together.
Ryan Quinn boxes ghosts for money, and ever since the dead became a part of society, he's making fistfuls.
Stalin, Genghis Khan, Al Capone – history’s baddest have lined up to take a swing at the only skin bag with the power to kill them for a second and final time. A power that appeared inside Quinn just as mysteriously as the spooks did seven years ago.
But when his daughter is murdered, and her ghost doesn’t return like the rest of the dead, Quinn must take the fight outside the ring to find her killer and bring her spirit home.
THE SHADOW BOXER is a supernatural mystery told in 12 Rounds.
“Nobody knew why the ghosts appeared on Earth all those years ago, including the spooks themselves. For them, it was as if they had died and immediately returned. No waiting in purgatory. No Heaven or Hell. Just rebirth.”
