Summary
Shadow of Death is the frightening story of Laura Nelson - medical student, wife, mother, victim and murderer. In the heat of the Detroit riots of 1967, Laura shoots and kills the attacker who dragged her into a deserted lot near the medical school where he raped and threatened to kill her. Her cries for help went unheeded. Laura leaves the scene - assuming the attack was unwitnessed - keeping this terrible secret to herself. But was there a witness? Will her husband know? Will the police find out? Will her life collapse?
