The Samaritans Shadow: A Historical Romantic Suspense of Secrets, Scandal, and a Vanishing Hero

New York City, 1896. Jess Pepper, a sharp-eyed investigative reporter newly arrived at the New York Times, expects to expose street swindlers and corrupt officials. Instead, an old folder in the newspaper morgue leads him into the chilling legend of the Samaritan—a mysterious rescuer who appeared years earlier whenever women were attacked in the dark streets of the city, then vanished without a trace.




As Jess follows the forgotten files, he crosses paths with Adelaide Magee, a talented violinist and independent young woman determined to build her own future. Their growing bond pulls them into a dangerous web of old crimes, hidden identities, corrupt power, and a villain who has no intention of letting the past come back to life.




The Samaritan's Shadow is a historical romantic suspense filled with mystery, music, danger, family secrets, and a fight for justice in the gaslit streets of old New York.
