In 1948 in the aftermath of World War II, a fatal shooting shatters a peaceful park in Canterbury. A little girl witnesses the brutal murder of her father. When she disappears with her mother, the man's and his family's identity remains a mystery. Years later, in 1965, martial artist Dominic witnesses an attempted abduction of a woman named Claire in the same city. Claire is not all she claims to be, and she embroils him in a world of bio-warfare, deadly diseases, and a secret laboratory in the heart of Kent's countryside. Claire mysteriously disappears and soon after, something deadly escapes from the laboratory, a South African millionaire buys it after it has been closed down. Dominic's life takes a turn when he meets and falls in love with Catherine, a scared and agoraphobic woman with a dark and mysterious past. They get engaged, but only a few weeks after, Catherine is reported killed in a plane crash. In mourning, he has a confrontation with a group of human traffickers and almost loses his life. Nursing broken ribs, a family friend invites him to South Africa to recuperate but he becomes ever more deeply involved with a deadly bio-weapon that could destroy humanity. Events thrust Dominic into a race against time and he must utilise his skills to prevent the release of the deadly virus in London. As Catherine's dark past and deadly secrets are uncovered, they reveal a plot for world domination. Through pulse-pounding action scenes and pulse-racing twists, Sanctuary in Shadows peels back the layers of deception to reveal shocking truths about a conspiracy with worldwide stakes. Fans of political thrillers in the style of John le Carré will be gripped by this page-turning tale of intrigue, betrayal, and one man's fight to destroy a terrible weapon even if it costs him everything.
