Beneath the Shadows - E-book - ePub

Before she was New York's most fearless private investigator, Veronica Dahl was a girl growing up in the shadowed streets of Knoxville, Tennessee-a place where secrets festered and survival meant being tougher than the dirt beneath your feet. In Beneath the Shadows, Veronica's journey from a troubled childhood to her rise as a hard-boiled investigator unfolds in a gritty tale of resilience, betrayal, and unrelenting ambition. From violent confrontations with dangerous lovers to running cons in seedy Appalachian towns, Veronica's path is lined with hard choices and harder consequences.
As she battles her way through abusive relationships and back-alley fights, Veronica learns that trust is a luxury she can't afford. Her sharp mind and even sharper fists keep her alive, but it's her relentless drive that carries her out of the South and into the unforgiving streets of New York City. In New York, Veronica begins to carve out her place as a private investigator, earning a reputation for being as tough as she is smart.
But the shadows of her past are never far behind, and Veronica quickly learns that the most dangerous enemies are often the ones closest to her heart. Beneath the Shadows is the origin story of Veronica Dahl-a woman who emerges from the darkness of her past to become a force to be reckoned with. Raw, intense, and deeply human, this noir thriller explores the making of a heroine who's not afraid to fight for what's hers, no matter the cost. Warning-This book contains explicit content, including graphic sexual themes, tobacco use, strong language, violence, and potentially triggering scenarios.
