The second novel in the PI Jim Keegan series.

A reclusive millionaire hires PI Jim Keegan to look after her interests, she is currently hidden away at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel. All Keegan has to do is humour her, keep her important papers in his office safe, and make weekly checks of her LA properties, but within a week she goes missing. Keegan suspects her ne'er-do-well young nephew of murder—but all the evidence he can find is circumstantial, and there's a good chance the kid will get away scot free.

'Valley of Shadows is an excellent blend of the golden era of crime fiction and sharp modern plotting that reminded me of Poirot, Sam Spade and Columbo all in the one character of Jim Keegan... The plot in Valley of Shadows is a corker.' Linda's Book Bag

'With a clever sense of humour, Paul Buchanan has put together a solid mystery that is engrossing, entertaining, and engaging. Fans of the genre will not be disappointed!' TheJoyousLiving.com

'Unforgettable, page turning... this crime novel should be on all our book shelves' @bookandstitch

'I thought Valley of Shadows was terrific' The Book Lover's Boudoir

Industry Reviews

"Buchanan's terrific debut and series launch introduces Jim Keegan, a journalist turned private investigator. Keegan is in a funk. . . . Noir fans will recognize the femme fatale trope and the outlines of the plot (think Double Indemnity), but Buchanan has fully reimagined a classic plot. Readers will be eager for the sequel." --Publishers Weekly on A City of Fallen Angels
