With just three days to go until The Shadow Men is released, what better time to get up to speed on the events of the two previous instalments of the Anna Scavolini series?

The Shadow Men can be enjoyed as a standalone novel without having read the previous books, In the Silence and Cruel Summer. However, if you’re new to the series and would like to know more about some of the key past events and characters referenced in it - or if you’ve read them before but need a quick refresher - you may find this brief primer useful. (Needless to say, MAJOR SPOILERS for both books lie within.)
