    Shadows in the Dark by Marcus Hale is a journey into the chilling stories of ten lesser-known serial killers who escaped the spotlight yet left a trail of terror and tragedy. With meticulous research and haunting detail, Hale uncovers the lives of these "hidden" killers—men and women who exploited society's blind spots, targeting the vulnerable while slipping through the cracks of justice. Each chapter reveals the unsettling truths behind killers like the "Silent Tormentor," a nurse who took lives rather than saving them, or the "Widowmaker," who preyed on elderly tenants for profit. 
    This book doesn't just recount their crimes; it examines how each managed to operate for years undetected, the societal failings that allowed them to evade capture, and the impact on families whose loved ones were forgotten by history. Through Shadows in the Dark, Marcus Hale provides a powerful, unflinching look at the underbelly of human nature, reminding readers that sometimes the most terrifying monsters are those we never see coming.
