Actually, you can get this quest done before Lure of the Abyss. I'd done a few quests for all the Notice Boards in Gran Soren (well, barring the one underneath the Pawn Guild), cleared the Ancient Quarry of Ogres, and retrieved Salomet's and over the course of those days the green question mark appeared over Mason's Head to trigger Chasing Shadows. Most likely Mason will offer you the quest automatically after a few days once you've entered Gran Soren.

Admittedly, just getting Lure of the Abyss over with would likely be quicker, so I've no idea why I needed to point that out other than to get my nitpicking tendencies out of my system. lol
