The Shot in Suite 814 | The Veronica Lakewood Chronicles | Season 1 Episode 2
Description
A midnight shooting in a luxury Chicago hotel leaves a baseball icon alive, a showgirl accused, and a city eager for a simple scandal. But Veronica Lakewood refuses the easy story, and Captain H. follows her from hospital corridors and police cells to backroom bars, gambling circles, and frozen streets where witnesses disappear quickly. As pressure builds, the case widens beyond jealousy into a network of fixed games, quiet payoffs, and carefully staged violence designed to frighten people into silence. With danger closing in from men who do not miss twice, Veronica and Captain H. must decide whether truth is worth the cost in a city that rewards obedience and buries inconvenient facts. The Shot in Suite 814 is an original noir-style mystery of manipulation, corruption, and survival under pressure, presented as a full-length audiobook by Nocturnal Tales.
