by **James Grady** (Author)

**"Grady cannot be pigeonholed. _Shadows on Sidewalks_ defies classification."--**Sarah Weinman, _The New York Times Book Review_****

**A cinematic and propulsive thriller from the author of _Six Days Of The Condor_ and _American Sky._**

Bob Dylan once declared that "Sex and politics and murder is the way to go if you want to get people's attention," and readers won't be able to look away from _Shadows on Sidewalks,_ the new erotic thriller from James Grady.

James Traven returns home to his small Montana town in autumn 2024 to care for his mother after a devasting fall. He quickly finds himself trapped in a life-threatening web of lies and lust. With the clock ticking, Traven must save the savvy and beautiful Lana LaBuff from almost-certain murder. Complicating things is her monstrous husband and the fact that their only ally is Cody, the mysterious former Marine who runs the local gun shop and regularly ghosts on ordinary life.

Fresh and fast-paced, _Shadows on Sidewalks_ takes us on a roller coaster ride through old age, racism, anger, sorrow, lust, and love. From the click of a cocked pistol to the distress signal--an "S.O.S."--emitted as James and Lana fight amidst a swirl of personal and political struggles, James Grady demonstratses his mastery of the noir form and shines a light on the modern condition.
