The Shadow is back and saving the president--and the world--from inconceivable disaster. Lamont Cranston, aka The Shadow, has never been prouder of Maddy Cranston, who's graduating college and starting an internship at a New York City public defender's office. But she still has a lot to learn. Especially about her undeveloped powers of shape-shifting and mind-control inherited from her mentor, Lamont. The two crime-fighters might look like father and daughter (or rather, great-great- granddaughter), though it's their mental powers that unites them. With Lamont investigating multiple deadly assaults on the world--the geological super-weapon "Terrageddon" and the deadly virus "Newbola"--Maddy goes undercover to investigate a trafficking ring ensnaring people her age, until an errant attack exposes her vulnerability . and unlocks her confidence. Only if Maddy and the Shadow can combine forces can they erase the threat of The President's Shadow .
