The Shadow Effect — Daniel Reiner

For a mistake to be corrected, it must first be made. Tenets such as this are the foundation upon which Quentin Gardiner has built his world. Logic. Reason. Cause and effect. Such basic principles are vital to one such as he, devoted to science. But as the head of the Archaeology department at Miskatonic University, Gardiner is one of the few aware of just how much lies beyond the commonlyaccepted boundaries of science. Magic is just one of those secret truths. When a mysterious package arrives from Gardiner's former mentor, he finds himself caught up in a globespanning quest, forced to peer into the shadows and discover the truth. But shadows conceal much, and some truthssome secretsare quite ugly.
