Something is hunting in the Highlands. And it has never known fear.
Deep in the Scottish Highlands, something extraordinary – and terrifying – has made the ancient forests its hunting ground. When a pattern of savage, unexplained kills begins to emerge across the glens, wildlife conservationist Thomas Walker finds himself drawn into a mystery that defies everything he knows about predators, nature, and survival.
A creature unlike anything catalogued by science is out there: intelligent, adaptive, and deadly. As the body count rises and the Highland community begins to fracture under fear, Thomas must draw on every skill he possesses – hunter, tracker, naturalist–to confront a beast that should not exist.
Rooted in real zoological science and set against the spectacular, brooding landscape of the Scottish Highlands, Shadow Beast is a white-knuckle thriller that asks what we still do not know about the natural world–and what it might do if we get too close.

As an independent author, finding the right voice for the characters that have lived inside my head was not something I took lightly. I received several auditions, some from prominent actors from TV and beyond. But in the end, none delivered what Andrew did.
My book is set in the Highlands of Scotland, complete with native Gaelic place names, and a broad spectrum of characters with Scottish accents. Andrew does them all justice. Thomas, my protagonist, is a well-educated former hunter and wildlife expert. His tragic past, and his close bond with his three-legged dog are perfectly captured in the narration. As his sense of humour and unintentional arrogance.
But, most important, was the creature at the heart of the story. I really wanted my book to stand out by giving the animal's POV, and Andrew has given the creature a unique voice that truly enables us to understand its motives, and its sheer will to survive as an apex predator. As hunter becomes hunted and Thomas and the creature swap roles, the tension builds and the pace becomes relentless.
In short, what I really loved about the Audible version of the book, is, that it still felt "new" to me. I was swept along with the adventure, and I wanted to know what happened next - even though I already did! I hope you discover the same when you give it a listen.
