"A gripping page-turner packed with gritty secrets and jaw-dropping twists that will keep you reading all night."

In Dark Trials, Vickie Bartolucci, a fearless, quick-witted New Yorker, uses her street smarts to solve three dark mysteries, each demanding a deadly price.

Dark Key - A gritty detective noir that tears open dangerous family secrets.

When Vickie finds an old radio story cassette featuring a 1940s detective, what seems like harmless fiction soon drags her into Queens' criminal underworld. To protect her mother, she must outwit mobsters and face down a remorseless killer in a world where every clue could be her last.

Dark Hive - A chilling murder mystery hidden behind convent walls.

Sent to a remote Catholic retreat, Vickie's quiet stay spirals into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse when a nun turns up dead. Surrounded by masked intentions and buried lies, she must unravel the truth before she becomes the next victim.

Dark Fences - A pulse-pounding coming-of-age thriller hiding brutal secrets.

Framed for a crime she didn't commit; Vickie is thrown into Maine's notorious juvenile hall. When a boy vanishes, she stumbles upon a sinister conspiracy within the facility. To survive, she must outwit the powerful adults pulling the strings-or risk disappearing forever.

Dark Trials, the explosive prequel to The Vickie Chronicles, sets the stage for Vickie's high-stakes journey in Book 1-Dark Masks.
