Readers will lose themselves in this surreal spy thriller…and may find it impossible to find themselves again.

Nadia is a quiet drama student in a country divided by a brutal civil war. Amid the steady tension of armed men, checkpoints, and random violence, the theater is her one escape. One evening, after an Ibsen performance, she is given an opportunity to serve her people. Nadia bears a strong resemblance to a waitress in the next district whose café is frequented by enemy agents. Would she be willing to take her place for a week and plant recording devices? It’s a dangerous mission that will take all her acting skills to disappear into this role…but she knows that she has no choice. As Nadia settles into the other woman’s apartment and life, she becomes more immersed in this character than she ever imagined. And as one week drags into two, she realizes this isn’t going to end the way she hoped…
In The Shadower, award-winning sibling duo Peter and Maria Hoey present a haunting, ice-cold story of identity, espionage, and betrayal.
Peter and Maria Hoey make pictures together. Trading back and forth from their studios in Northern California and New York, the brother and sister artists draw for publications of all kinds. They also write, draw, and design the Eisner-nominated comic series Coin-Op. Their graphic novels Animal Stories, The Bend of Luck, and In Perpetuity were all published by Top Shelf Productions. This is their fourth graphic novel, now joined by co-writer C.P. Freund.
