In Las Vegas, where someone's playing the odds and everyone's playing to win, the stakes have never been higher.

Caught in the middle, he's playing for time, time that's quickly running out. Who can you trust when you're all-in and it's time to reveal the cards? Is his new father-in-law a traitor? Or a pawn in a greater game perpetrated by a master spy. A man known only as 'Shadoe'; an enigmatic figure who rules a spy network whose sole aim is to destroy the Shadow People. Why would Edward betray the Family? Is there some traumatic episode in his past that could explain it? In the dangerous city below Sin City, Paris faces agonizing choices. With few allies, he must guard a secret so powerful the Shadow People fear it above it all else, while protecting and strengthening his new Family. Anything less spells disaster for all of them.

In Iran, on a mission to rescue his mother-in-law, Paris Fox uncovers something he never could have expected, a mystery in the form of another almost identical twin. But this twin has a fantastic story to tell, one that may reveal the hidden seven-eights of Paris' genetic iceberg. It seems his genes and those of his siblings have become a precious jewel that several Shadow Houses covet, chief among them the Borgias. They're determined to steal the biological treasure trove contained their bodies, and they'll go to any lengths to make that happen. But does something more sinister hide in Paris' bloodline? Does he have an evil twin, one that intends harm to his Family? The answers lie in the House of Borgia. To find out, he'll have to take them down hard. To succeed, he'll need all his skills and those of his siblings and allies. But if their combined might can't match the powerful Borgia Adepts, their lives are forfeit.

Just weeks after Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, Larry Doby joined Robinson in breaking the color barrier in the major leagues when he became the first Black player to integrate the American League, signing with the Cleveland Indians in July 1947. Doby went on to be a seven-time All-Star center fielder who led the Indians to two pennants. In many respects Robinson and Doby were equals in their baseball talent and experiences and had remarkably similar playing careers: both were well-educated, World War II veterans and both had played spectacularly, albeit briefly, in the Negro Leagues. Like Robinson, Doby suffered brickbats, knock-down pitches, spit in his face, and other forms of abuse and discrimination. Doby was also a pioneering manager, becoming the second black manager after Frank Robinson. Well into the 1950s Doby was the only Black All-Star in the American League during a period in which fifteen black players became National League All-Stars. Why is Doby largely forgotten as a central figure in baseball’s integration? Why has he not been accorded his rightful place in baseball history? Greatness in the Shadows attempts to answer these questions, bringing Doby’s story to life and sharing his achievements and firsts with a new generation.
