Hang in the shadows (4)

I believe the answer is:

lurk

(Other definitions for lurk that I've seen before include "Behave in a sneaky and secretive manner" , "Hide suspiciously" , "Loiter with intent" , "Linger around furtively" , "Wait in hiding to attack" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
