Ashley's Shadow is based on the real 1934 murder of Ethel Allen who's mutilated body was found on the banks of the Indian River in Eau Gallie, Florida. For decades the case remained unsolved until a young journalist, Brad Kirby, working for Dead End Magazine, begins to follow a lead. According to the magazine's publisher, any staff writer who could help solve a cold case would receive a $5,000 reward. With little more than a faded newspaper article to go on, Brad's research uncovers more than he bargained for, one being the chance meeting of Erin Albright, a free spirited waitress at Ashley's Restaurant, formerly Jack's Tavern, the very place where Ethel Allen once worked. Erin and Brad team up to find clues that lead to scandal, corrupt politicians, secrets and betrayals. With each new twist in the case, strange things begin to happen to Brad and Erin as if guided by some paranormal force. Could it be the ghost of Ethel Allen, the very spirit believed to haunt Ashley's Restaurant today? Will this case finally be solved so Ethel can rest in peace? Find out how this ghostly legend turns a decades old murder into a haunting romance. "Based on a real murder and a real life haunting legend, ASHLEY'S SHADOW is a murder mystery, ghost story, and romance all rolled into one book. This is a story that will keep you mesmerized through numerous twists and turns to a very strange ending. This is what movies are made from." - Strange World Review.
