ABOUT THE BOOK:
In The Shaking, book five of Kerry Peresta's suspense series, Olivia Callahan faces her most perilous case yet. Years after surviving a traumatic brain injury that reshaped her identity, Olivia is now a seasoned P.I. navigating the shadows of her past and the dangers of her present. When a seemingly routine investigation spirals into a web of deceit, betrayal, and a chilling conspiracy tied to her own history, Olivia must confront forces that threaten to unravel everything she’s fought to rebuild. As secrets surface and the stakes escalate, Olivia’s courage and cunning are pushed to the limit in a race against time to uncover the truth before it destroys her.
