Gabrieli Mysteries
Some promises are killers to keep.
Private investigator D.S. Gabrieli can name a hundred places he’d rather visit than Cheakamus, British Columbia. But a promise is a promise. The trip should be a cameo: check in, attend a christening, check out. Two days max. What could go wrong in two days?
When a burned body is discovered at a sabotaged mine site near the small town, and police finger his kid brother as their prime suspect, Gabe realizes he’s not getting out of Cheakamus quickly, or easily. His battle to save his recalcitrant brother’s neck pits Gabe against deceptive locals, a mountain’s secrets, and a cunning killer who ultimately threatens to destroy all Gabe cares about, and pushes him to his breaking point.
What can go wrong in two days? Everything.
What Readers are Saying:
“The End Game is funny, suspenseful and completely absorbing. Gabe is a wonderful character—a little flawed, yes, but with great qualities, especially his sense of humour—as are all the folks in Cheakamus. Heck, even the diner is an interesting character.” M.D.
“Come for the page-turning suspense, but stay for the charming townsfolk of Cheakamus. In the midst of a gripping mystery are quirky, lovable, layered characters who made me want to drive into their small Canadian town and stay. As “Gabe” Gabrieli would say, I’ll file this under “Recommended, highly”!” S.K.
The Karma Murders is the second book in the Gabrieli Mysteries.
A driver falling asleep at the wheel. A truck slipping out of gear. A sailboat boom striking a sailor’s skull.
SOMETIMES, ACCIDENTS ARE ANYTHING BUT
Someone is delivering fatal justice in Cheakamus, B.C. He has anointed himself as Karma’s Helper, delivering justice where it’s long overdue.
Townspeople see these accidents as random acts of fate. But P.I. Gabe Gabrieli believes the truth is more sinister. He recognizes the pattern—a killer’s signature hidden in plain sight—and studies the threads connecting the victims, searching for a common link.
Soon the Helper learns Gabe is on his trail. The hunter, now hunted, adds Gabe’s teenaged brother Jack to his list of targets.
When Gabe identifies the killer, he understands the motive: retribution for a decades-old injustice. But that revelation ignites a terrifying urgency. The killer isn’t finished. Gabe races to find Karma’s Helper before Jack unknowingly walks into an ambush and the unthinkable happens.
