About The Author

Dennis W. Woodson

I grew up in a small place in the country called Nelson County Virginia known for its ski resort, wineries, hiking trails, breathtaking mountain top scenery and home of another writer, Earl Hamner who wrote the Waltons, you may be familiar with that TV show. I joined the Air Force where I found purpose, travel globally while I proudly served my country, then was medically retired after seven years and with my wife, who was also in the Air Force, my daughter and myself settled into San Antonio, Texas, the place where we now call home.

About Shadow Justice

I usually don’t finish books this fast, but I couldn’t put this one down. The story kept me hooked from the first murder all the way to the last page. It felt like I was right there with Detective Calloway, trying to solve the puzzle.

This book had me double-checking my doors at night. The killer’s notes gave me chills, and the ending left me speechless. Definitely one of the best crime thrillers I’ve read in a long time.

I’m not a big reader, but this one grabbed me. The writing is easy to follow, but the story is intense. Some of the crime scenes were brutal, but that’s what made it feel so real. If you like crime shows, you’ll love this.

Dennis really nailed it. The detective felt like a real person, not some perfect hero, and the killer’s philosophy was creepy but fascinating. I kept thinking about the book even after I finished.

At first I thought it would just be another cop-chasing-a-killer story, but it’s way deeper than that. It makes you question innocence and guilt in a way I didn’t expect. Scary, smart, and really well written.

Wow. Just wow. It felt like watching a movie in my head the whole time. The pace was perfect—fast enough to keep me turning pages but slow enough to build tension. I really hope there’s a sequel.

The killer’s notes gave me chills, and the ending left me speechless. Take out and the ending left me speechless and put—The killer's notes and the murders gave me chills all the way through.
