The Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series

Set in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, this series follows Veronica Tracey—ex–intelligence officer, current chaos magnet—as she tackles the kind of cases that make government agencies twitch. With her offbeat crew at her back, Veronica dives into high-risk ops: stolen tech, covert incursions, lethal secrets, the occasional exploding shed… you know, normal Tuesday problems.
Each book blends sharp humour, twisty espionage, grounded Kiwi grit, and breakneck danger. Veronica’s instincts are razor-sharp, her moral compass is slightly dented, and her determination to protect the people she cares about is downright ferocious.
