Shadows Over Starling

A Novel

By: David Viau

Narrated by: Connor Brannigan

Chris Baker is struggling. He is struggling to be a good son, a good boyfriend, a good mechanic - struggling to lead an average life as a senior at Starling High.

When the construction of the second runway at the Jones County Airport threatens to displace him and his dying mother, Kathryn, his older brother, Jake, appears out of the past with a dangerous and illegal solution. But Jake, recently medically discharged from the Marines and battling his own inner demons, has a mysterious agenda. With the eviction imminent, and opposing forces more powerful than he could possibly imagine mounting against him, Chris has to make a decision that will change both his life and the lives of those around him forever.

Both heartbreaking and inspiring, Shadows over Starling offers a multigenerational tale wrought with moral ambiguity that asks the listener: What would you do for love?
