The Shadow: A Holly Jennings Novella

By A.K. Alexander

Her young daughter is ill, and the truth behind it is deadly.

Homicide detective Holly Jennings hunts killers for a living. But she's never prepared for the threat growing inside her daughter, Chloe.

When Chloe's pediatrician is found dead in his Ocean Beach bungalow and his death is quickly ruled a suicide, Holly and her partner, Chad Euwing, know it isn't that simple. As questions multiply and answers disappear, they begin to realize whatever is happening didn't start with Chloe, and it won't stop with her.

With time running out and forces closing in from every direction, Holly is pushed into a dangerous moral grey zone. One that forces her to trust the last person she should and risk everything she's built to protect the people she loves.

A taut, emotionally charged Holly Jennings novella about motherhood, loyalty, and how far a woman will go when the system meant to protect her child becomes the threat.
