The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

This sinister story begins in the graveyard. The Shadow Man visits this gravesite,  always the same one. "Sometimes he would dig a coffin up,  and sometimes he would bury it...until the grave was little more than a revolving door between one world and the next."
The Shadow Man,  or Fergus,  collects people,  but he doesn't keep them safe. The variety of the kidnappings has the detectives stumped so they bring in forensic psychologist Connie. She has an odd and unique way of analyzing the case, and together with DI Baarda, they must find the victims before it's too late.
I couldn't put this book down! I loved the strong character Connie and the dynamic between her and her partner Baarda. And Fergus was more twisted than any bad guy I've read about in a while. 
Thank you to Helen Fields and Avon Books for the opportunity to read this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
