The Shadow Man

Horses and Horse People. Hauntings & Secrets. They dominate and intimidate Maggie's every waking second in Del Mar's horse country--just as she attempts a last-chance life makeover. At first it's only daylight she sees: fledgling freedom from her drug-addicted ex-husband, and a rush of empowerment to discover new love, in a new world, at a bustling equestrian center. However, darkness lurks behind the daylight. If only it weren't for the strange shadows, inexplicable noises, and that unwelcoming staircase troubling Maggie and her young daughter Kat's peace in their inherited Del Mar home In this harrowing ghost story, Maggie Flores, is dually haunted by the unexplainable, malignant presence in her new home and by her ex-husband Tim's tragic meth addiction. Tim too, is haunted by toxic, increasingly vicious shadows from his past -- and from beyond the grave -- that threaten Maggie, himself, and their young daughter.
