The theory captivated yet unnerved scholars, leaving a lingering air of dread within the conference halls. When another delegate meets a gruesome end, it becomes horrifyingly clear: the conference has become a hunting ground. Is Death’s Shadow serving as a blueprint for a real-life killer, or has the professor’s intellectual arrogance unwittingly unleashed a monster? Time is running out. As the conference draws to a close, Cavendish & Walker must decode a mind warped by twisted logic. Lives hang in the balance—can they crack the case before Death’s Shadow strikes again?
