When a young student mysteriously disappears from a New York bar, Detective Darlene O'Hara takes on the case - and unravels a dark story of murder and deception. Francesca Pena is an unlikely success story.

Running from a troubled past, she's come to New York to reinvent herself, earning a scholarship to NYU. Her natural beauty and effervescent presence make her the envy of her more privileged friends, but none of them knows the real Francesca. Following a night of heavy drinking with three of her closest friends, she's reported missing. Detective Darlene O'Hara from New York's 7th Precinct and her partner Serge Karamanoukian ('K') investigate.

A week later, Francesca's body is discovered severely mangled in a toilet by the East River. O'Hara and K's investigation quickly becomes a high-profile hunt that the Homicide Unit are quick to snatch away. Frustrated by their slow progress, O'Hara and K continue their own investigation in the city's seedy underbelly, where strip clubs, lecherous pimps and prostitution reign supreme. Just when the Homicide Unit think they have the real killer in their sights, O'Hara and K reveal their own findings-with not a minute to spare.

From Peter de Jonge, who previously joined forces with the New York Times bestselling author James Patterson to write two No.1 bestsellers, comes a murder mystery set in the rotten core of the Big Apple.

Industry Reviews

'Peter de Jonge's heroine Darlene O'Hara is one of the freshest, hippest detective creations in many a year. This novel is an absolute knockout and a half.' James Patterson 'SHADOWS STILL REMAIN is a killer of a thriller with a wonderfully human, perfectly rendered heroine at its center. You can't help but fear for her and root for her in equal measure. A terrific read." Dennis Lehane 'First-rate... tough, skilful, sophisticated entertainment. When the crime-fiction aficionados set out to pick their best first novel of the year, Shadows Still Remain will be a contender.' Washington Post
