Shadow Man, Drew - B

                                              This is a thoughtful police procedural focused on child molestation. A young man, abused and kept in a cellar for six years, grows up to be a serial killer. A high school coach abuses and messes up the lives of his young athletes, one of whom grows up to be the local detective. The most interesting aspect though is that it is set in Orange County, California in the mid-eighties, just as the final touches of civilization are being built. The detective is a third-generation local with memories of his father and he riding horses down to the beach until the PCH was built twenty years earlier.
