BURIED SHADOWS
A NOVEL BY R.K. STROUD
BURIED SHADOWS
Former forensic investigator Marion Taylor thought he had left the chaos of crime scenes and the weight of tragedy behind. Now, working quietly as an insurance investigator, his days are spent unraveling corporate fraud—not confronting human devastation. But when a cryptic call from an old colleague pulls him into the mysterious death of a former coworker, Marion is forced to confront the ghosts of his past.
In this gripping tale of suspense and redemption, Buried Shadows explores the lengths people will go to for power—and the cost of uncovering what’s buried in the dark.

THE MIND BEHIND THE FICTION
R.K. Stroud writes layered thrillers that explore the tension between truth and perception, often through the lens of investigative work, psychological resilience, and buried secrets. With a background in analytical problem-solving and a fascination with human behavior, Stroud’s stories blend technical precision with emotional depth.
He’s drawn to characters who unravel conspiracies, confront trauma, and navigate morally gray landscapes, often set against textured, real-world backdrops. His debut novel, Buried Shadows, reflects a lifelong interest in mystery, mythos, and the quiet power of persistence.
Stroud lives in the Midwest and prefers to let the work speak for itself.
