Before Sergis descended into darkness, Ashleigh Gray made a choice that changed everything.
When a nine-year-old girl vanishes from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Detective Senior Sergeant Ashleigh Gray is thrust into the spotlight of a task force already cracking under fear, politics, and public outrage. With seven children missing in six months, the pressure to find answers is suffocating—and the command is desperate for someone to blame.
Ash’s instincts pull her toward a suspect whose perfect alibi begins to unravel thread by thread. But every step she takes toward the truth puts her career, her reputation, and her future on the line. Still, she refuses to back down. Not when a child’s life hangs in the balance. Not when darkness is closing in from all sides.
Beneath the Shadows is a gripping prequel novella to the Townsend & Gray series—revealing the case that pushed Ash to her limits, tested everything she believed in, and set her on the path toward Sergis… and the shadows waiting for her there.
