Description

When the sun sets, Sin City comes to life.

But the neon glamor is only skin-deep; below it lies the exposed underbelly of the city, the beaten-down blue-collar workers who keep it churning on.

Among them is a forlorn, veteran taxi cab driver just trying to eke out a living. His clients’ once-unpredictable escapades have grown stale and vapid in the monotony of life. Fare by fare, he persists, going through the motions. Nevertheless, transporting impulsive and often shady tourists around strip clubs and casinos in Las Vegas has its pitfalls, putting his fortune to the test daily just to make rent.

Shadow Beneath the Lights is a gritty, character-driven noir drama novel exploring the psyche of a seasoned taxi driver’s after-hours gamble - should he cut his losses… or take one more rider?

Shadow Beneath the Lights explores the gritty underworld of Las Vegas, following a worn-out cab driver who’s seen it all—and then some. This isn’t just a story about Sin City’s neon glow; it’s about the people who live in its shadows, struggling to make ends meet while life spins out of control around them. I was hooked by the raw, unfiltered view of Vegas and the driver’s inner conflict. It’s the kind of book that sticks with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

Holy smokes, this book is like Vegas after dark—raw, messy, and impossible to look away from! Shadow Beneath the Lights gave me big noir vibes, with a cab driver who’s both jaded and oddly captivating. Between shady tourists, smoky casinos, and the sheer grind of surviving in Sin City, this story pulls you into the unglamorous heart of it all. If you’re ready for a wild ride (pun intended), buckle up—you’re in for a treat! 🎰🚖
