Shadow of a Good Man
Eli Mercer has spent years carrying the wreckage of one terrible night.
Haunted by loss and hollowed out by guilt, he keeps to himself, clings to routine, and asks nothing more from life than to survive it. But when the abused dog chained in his neighbor's yard begins barking into the darkness night after night, Eli is pulled into something he can't ignore.
What starts as a simple act of compassion quickly spirals into a chain of events that drags old wounds back into the light - and places Eli in the path of violence, buried secrets, and a town quietly unraveling around him.
As danger closes in and the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur, Eli must confront the truth about the man he's become... and decide how much of himself he has left to give.
A haunting psychological thriller about grief, redemption, loyalty, and the impossible choices that define us, Shadow of a Good Man asks one devastating question:
How far would you go to save the only soul still depending on you?
