Over the last seven years, women have been disappearing from Shawville, Quebec. Some are as young as nineteen-others in their mid to late thirties-being led astray by a man they thought to be a kind gentleman to a dimly lit cave filled with a labyrinth of tunnels . . . and something else . . . an evil, a man who never shows his face and dresses only in a druid's black robe. He turns his captives into slaves, making them do unspeakable things. Anyone who betrays him is dealt with slowly and mercilessly. In a brief time, the timid women refer simply to the dark man as "The Shadow."
