Shadows Over Atlanta

In the heart of a city that prided itself on progress, a silent terror crept through the streets. Between 1979 and 1981, Atlanta's Black children began to vanish-one by one, without warning, without justice. Shadows Over Atlanta is a haunting, emotionally charged true crime narrative that reclaims their stories and confronts the silence that nearly buried them. Told through the eyes of grieving mothers, a relentless detective, and a community forced to become its own advocate, this book unearths the systemic failures, racial tensions, and political calculations that allowed a serial predator to thrive.
From the first disappearance to the final arrest, Dareios Little delivers a gripping, immersive account that blends investigative precision with human truth. More than a chronicle of tragedy, Shadows Over Atlanta is a tribute to resilience-a story of voices raised, lives remembered, and a city forced to reckon with the cost of its silence.---
