Description
Finalist for the 2024 Crime Writers of Canada Award of Excellence for Best First Crime Novel!
 Some promises are killers to keep.
Private investigator D.S. Gabrieli travels to the small town of Cheakamus in the British Columbia mountains to fulfill a promise. It should be a cameo: show up, attend a christening, get out. Two days, max.
But life has a way of tossing complications Gabe’s way. Complications like a wacko flinging explosives around nearby mining sites, like a burned body discovered in a sabotaged core shack, like the cops fingering Gabe’s kid brother Jack as their prime suspect. Within hours after he parks his truck on the small town’s main street, Gabe’s two-day duty visit becomes a week-long battle to save his recalcitrant brother’s neck, pitting him against hostile media, locals with hidden agendas, and the secrets the mountain hides. The killer, intent on avoiding detection, continually raises the stakes, ultimately jeopardizing everyone and everything Gabe cares about and pushing him to his breaking point.
