Shadowlocked

By: David Moody

Narrated by: Aubrey Parsons

A dark psychological thriller from the author of the AUTUMN and HATER novels (optioned for film by Guillermo del Toro). Heading home late after a night out, Adam and Lucy Logan are involved in a horrific road rage incident. Their car is forced off a bridge and ends up at the bottom of a swollen, fast-flowing river.

Adam survives but Lucy drowns, trapped inside the sinking wreck. When he's released from hospital, Adam vows to hunt down the driver responsible for his wife's death and take revenge. But according to the police the roads around the bridge were empty. There was no other car. His world is turned upside down again when Lucy returns from the grave: an impossible shadow of her former self.

Adam's feelings for Lucy overtake his fear, and together they realise their only option is to find out what really happened on the bridge that tragic night. Until then, Lucy remains trapped on the fringes of reality between life and death. She's shadowlocked. But the deeper Adam digs, the more he begins to realise there was much of Lucy's life - and subsequently her death - that he knew nothing about.

Critic reviews

"A tale wrapped up in a cold sheet of tragedy and loss, which penetrates further into your own skin than you’d expect it to." —DLS Reviews

Mood switch

This book was great. You think you might know where it's going, and want to sympathize with Adam, but the abrupt tone switch definitely might have you second guessing! This book was completely different from anything else I've ever read from David Moody and I am here for it!

Loved it

Mr. Moody has delivered another masterpiece for his readers! Outstanding character development and pulse-pounding action from start to finish. I listened to the novel on Audible and the narration from Aubrey Parsons was absolutely outstanding!

Just Okay

It was as an okay story, more of a suspense, who done it, type of book. Like the hater series better. This just kinda seemed like a story about a guy walking around talking to people. The person reading did a really good job.

Excellent Story

I throughly enjoyed this story. Moody killed it again! Great twist at the end. I’d love to see more stories like this from him.
