SYNOPSIS FOR ESCAPE FROM THE SHADOWS When a ghost from the past reemerges to complicate the lives of Ivan and Rachel Dunn it's bad enough, but add to that a corpse that literally shows up on their doorstep, and you have the formula for the latest mystery from the desk of Frank A. Perdue. This historical thriller is set in the early to mid twentieth century and much of the action takes place in the turbulent Pacific during World War II.
