Sobre este audiolivro
Las Vegas in the 1950s. The name conjures images of glittering casinos, flowing cocktails, and the promise of a good time. But beneath the veneer of glamour lay a darker reality—a city built on ambition and vice, where fortunes were made and lost, and where the lines between legitimate business and organized crime were often blurred. Beneath the Velvet Veil explores this duality, immersing the reader in the vibrant and dangerous world of 1950s Las Vegas through the eyes of Ruby Rae, a captivating lounge singer caught in a web of deceit and danger. Ruby's journey begins with a seemingly idyllic romance, but her discovery of her fiancé's ties to the notorious Las Vegas mob shatters her world. What follows is a thrilling descent into the city's underbelly, where Ruby must use her wit, courage, and unwavering determination to uncover a conspiracy that threatens everything she holds dear. This is not merely a story of crime and intrigue; it's a character-driven narrative that delves into themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of female empowerment in a male-dominated world. Ruby’s resilience, strength, and keen intelligence are at the heart of her struggle for survival. As she navigates a treacherous landscape of charismatic gangsters, seductive femme fatales, and corrupt officials, she will be tested to her limits. The novel aims to capture the authenticity of the period, paying close attention to historical accuracy in its depiction of Las Vegas's social dynamics, fashion, and the realities of organized crime in the era. From the bustling casinos to the shadowy back alleys, each scene is carefully crafted to immerse the reader in the atmospheric world of 1950s Las Vegas. Prepare to be captivated by the shimmering lights and the chilling darkness that lies beneath the surface, as Ruby Rae embarks on a perilous journey that will test her courage and redefine her destiny. The story unfolds through Ruby's perspective, allowing the reader to experience her evolving understanding of the city, its people, and the secrets it holds.
