The End Game - Gabrieli Mysteries

Here's the recipe that resulted in The End Game being nominated for the Crime Writers of Canada's 2024 Award of Excellence for Best Crime First Novel:
Take one deadly explosion. Add one burned body and one teenaged suspect.
Stir to create one week-long race for Gabe Gabrieli to save his kid brother's neck.

Former lawyer turned part-time investigator Gabe Gabrieli visits a small resort town to fulfill a promise. He plans to check in, attend a christening, check out. Two days max.
But when police name his kid brother as their prime suspect in a gruesome killing on a nearby mountain, Gabe leaps into a desperate search for the truth - a week-long battle that pits him 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.
Immerse yourself in Gabe's world and buckle up!
