Publisher's Summary
From the author of the award-winning Flights of Angels comes the fourth book in the Exit Unicorns series.
It is the winter of 1975 in Northern Ireland, and the Troubles are at their darkest hour. Casey Riordan is missing, and Jamie Kirkpatrick has just returned home from two years in a Russian gulag.
Desperate to find her missing husband, Pamela Riordan makes a devil’s bargain with the one man she believes can help her, forming an alliance which will have grave consequences for her and those she loves.
For Pamela and her family, caught in the quagmire of 800 years’ worth of hate and betrayal, compromise - both that of body and soul - is inevitable. All of them face an uncertain future in Northern Ireland - a country of shadows, where nothing is as it seems, and the slightest misstep can have deadly consequences.
Shimmering historical detail and masterful storytelling combine in a tale which sweeps us across continents and seas from the bloody events of the Troubles to the rough streets of post-Vietnam San Francisco, and make this fourth book a journey of both turbulent intensity and heartbreaking choices.

Powerful, raw and unfiltered emotion.
If you haven’t delved into the world of Exit Unicorns, then you are missing out on an epic work of Historical Fiction!
In the Country of Shadows is the fourth book in this phenomenal and award-winning series and continues the story of Casey, Pamela, Jamie, Patrick along with Noah, and a host of many unforgettable characters navigating the terrible tragedy that is The Troubles.
This part of the story has us traveling to Paris, San Francisco, Maine, and back across the sea to Ireland where the conflict in Northern Ireland continues to spill blood. This story is about truth, trust, loss, survival, and acceptance. It is full of love and heartache and is powerfully emotional.
I first read In the Country of Shadows in 2016 and again in 2020, just after the release of book 5 Where Butterflies Dream.
I have now read this fantastic book as an immersive experience (book+audio) and I can't fully describe the feelings this book leaves with you.
Gary Furlong has outdone himself once again. He delivered pure and powerfully raw emotion with this book, and he has done a spectacular job of bringing the story to life and making you feel as if you are experiencing it all firsthand.
The audiobook for book 5: Where Butterflies Dream is set for release later this year. I can hardly wait!!
The immersive reading experience with this series is so extraordinarily wonderful. I can’t imagine experiencing this series any other way. I highly recommend it! It is an amazing experience.
