Debut Novel Coming Soon- Preorder Now!
SECRETS IN THE STEEL
by
Wendy Lou King
Beneath the Red Cliffs, a Deadly Secret is Buried in Steel and Concrete…
Whe, construction manager Gwen Kingsmen, breaks ground on Utah’s largest biomedical research facility, she expects blueprints and budgets, not buried secrets and mounting danger. But as the build progresses, Gwen uncovers a sinister network of corporate corruption, political cover-ups, and rogue viral experiments that threaten far more than just her project’s timeline.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of southern Utah’s crimson mesas and high desert winds, Gwen and her team must choose: stay silent and finish the job, or expose the truth and risk everything. As the walls rise, so does the body count—and those behind the research will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden.
Murder. Betrayal. Science gone rogue.
The most dangerous part of this construction zone…is what’s being built inside.
“Enjoy this tale that builds suspense chapter by chapter.”
