James Patterson & Richard DiLallo: The President's Shadow (USA 2025)

From the Publisher:
The Shadow is back and saving the president -- and the world -- from inconceivable disaster.
Lamont Cranston, aka The Shadow, has never been prouder of Maddy Cranston, who's graduating college and starting an internship at a New York City public defender's office.

But she still has a lot to learn. Especially about her undeveloped powers of shape-shifting and mind-control inherited from her mentor, Lamont. The two crime-fighters might look like father and daughter (or rather, great-great- granddaughter), though it's their mental powers that unites them.

...With Lamont investigating multiple deadly assaults on the world -- the geological super-weapon "Terrageddon" and the deadly virus "Newbola" -- Maddy goes undercover to investigate a trafficking ring ensnaring people her age, until an errant attack exposes her vulnerability... and unlocks her confidence.

Only if Maddy and the Shadow can combine forces can they erase the threat of The President's Shadow.
