John Bromley, a cunning killer whose madness fuels his every move, has escaped the walls of a sinister insane asylum, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. Driven by a twisted mind that blends chilling intellect with unhinged brutality, he kills without pattern—only when it serves his dark purpose.

Dr. Franklin Grimm, the asylum’s ruthless director, will stop at nothing to keep the breakout a secret, desperate to protect his career at any cost. He unleashes his merciless head of security, known only as Ski Mask, to hunt Bromley down before the truth spills out. But Ski Mask’s silence grows ominous, and Grimm’s frantic calls go unanswered. Meanwhile, Alex and Melissa, an unsuspecting couple in a quiet house, become the maniac’s next targets, trapped in a nightmare of torture and terror.

As radio reports of the escape leak to the public—exposing cracks in Grimm’s cover-up—a deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds.

Who betrayed the secret? Where is Ski Mask? And can anyone stop Bromley’s relentless bloodshed?

Heart-pounding and packed with shocking twists, Maniac in the Shadows delivers a chilling horror thriller that will haunt you long after the final page.
