Bad Habits

A Vigilante Kidnapping Thriller

By: T. Patrick Brown

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Veronica Howe has spent three decades surviving the kind of childhood that never really ends. When the man who destroyed her family is released from prison, she makes a choice she’s rehearsed in her head for years: she’s going to take back control—and reclaim the one thing she’s never stopped obsessing over, a necklace that vanished the night her mother died.

But revenge doesn’t stay clean. One violent night turns into a runaway nightmare, and Veronica finds herself hunted, desperate, and forced into an uneasy partnership with the last person she ever expected to rely on: Sister Olivia Darby, a nun with her own restless hunger for a life that feels real.

As Detective Felicity Starr closes in, the chase spirals beyond Cascade Falls—toward New York City and the criminal pipeline that swallowed the necklace in the first place. With every mile, Veronica’s mission becomes harder to control… and Olivia must decide how far she’ll go before faith, fear, and fascination turn into something irreversible.

Bad Habits is a fast-paced crime thriller about trauma, obsession, and the dangerous relief of finally doing the thing you swore you never would.
