About Reese Vandall
Reese Vandall writes dark sports romance about complicity. Not the single dramatic betrayal — the small, daily, entirely survivable compromises that stack up until there is no clean version of anybody left. A physiotherapist hired to prove that a player did not play clean. A journalist embedded in a club she has come to take apart.
