About In Her Shadow:

Bus driver Dave Kellock is a pillar of the community in Portobello, Edinburgh. But he's also a fraud. His past is dragged into the present when a lone passenger steps onto his bus on an ordinary Monday morning. One look and Dave knows it's her: the same woman he killed almost twenty years earlier.

Meanwhile, city police investigate a series of nuisance calls, allegedly made from Dave's home landline. He's stunned. But if he didn't make them, who did? As he battles to track down a dead woman and identify his mystery intruder Dave makes a terrifying realisation . . .

Wherever he goes, someone is watching.

Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.
