Chasing Shadows
(2025)(The ninth book in the Detective Erika Foster series)
A novel by Robert Bryndza
"One of the tensest and most heart-stopping reads that will leave you with your jaw dropped. Excellent!" By The Letter Book Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In a world of lies… the truth hides in the shadows.
Detective Erika Foster is about to face her deadliest case yet—a case where the lines between justice and vengeance blur, and long-buried secrets come to light.
A collapsed ceiling. A dead body. What begins as a routine 999 call quickly spirals into a chilling mystery when Detective Chief Inspector Erika Foster discovers a woman’s body in an empty flat, all traces of DNA wiped clean. But when forensics uncover cocaine residue coating the ceiling, Erika calls in the drug dogs—who lead her to a mysterious parcel locker.
Tracking the locker’s owner drags Erika into a confrontation she never expected: face-to-face with Jerome Goodman, the drug dealer who murdered her husband, Mark, ten years ago. She arrests him—but there’s a twist. His passport and solicitor claim his name is Kieron Bagshaw, and his criminal record is spotless.
With her superiors demanding she take leave to address her PTSD, and even her closest colleagues questioning her sanity, Erika turns her time off into a secret investigation. Sifting through old newspapers, encrypted messages, and hidden passageways, she uncovers shocking truths that reopen Mark’s murder case—while staying one step ahead of the Met.
Every revelation pushes Erika to the edge, forcing her to confront the trauma of her past and uncover who among her friends has been pulling strings from the shadows.
Chasing Shadows is the heart-stopping new thriller from seven-million-copy bestseller Robert Bryndza. Can be read as a standalone story.
