She told everyone she was being hunted but when her body was found, no one could agree whether she'd been murdered or lost a battle with her own mind. Cindy James was a respected nurse, a quiet woman living in a Vancouver suburb, and a person gripped by terror. For seven years, she reported a campaign of stalking, harassment, and brutal attacks. Her phone lines were cut, her house vandalized, and she was found bound and bruised on multiple occasions. Yet police could never find her tormentor or any proof that one existed.Then, in 1989, Cindy's body was discovered outside an abandoned house, hands and feet tied, a nylon stocking around her neck. Her death was ruled neither a clear suicide nor a proven homicide. Instead, it became one of the most disturbing unsolved cases in Canadian history. A Cry in the Shadows takes you deep into Cindy's fractured world-through police reports, psychological evaluations, and the haunting testimonies of those who loved and doubted her. Was Cindy James a victim of relentless stalking, a casualty of mental illness, or both? This book exposes the chilling intersection of fear, obsession, and disbelief, forcing readers to confront one devastating question: What if the person crying for help was telling the truth and no one believed her until it was too late?
