About Backlash Blues: Gabriel Praest, Book 1 (Unabridged)

When Banks Go Bad...And Not Just at Math! Copenhagen's usually cool, but not when Gabriel Præst is on the scene. Hired to dig into the apparent suicide of Noor Mallik, a young worker bee from Denmark's biggest bank, he expects nothing more than corporate politics and bad office coffee. But instead, he finds himself knee-deep in a plot thicker than Danish brown gravy. Silas Haagen, the bank's hotshot executive, might be hiding more than just a ridiculously fancy office. As Gabriel dives into a potential #MeToo scandal, he uncovers layers that make an onion look bare. From dark money from even darker places to the ever-elusive hitman known as "The Ghost" (who probably just needs a hug), Gabriel realizes he will need more than his trusty blues guitar and dry wit to solve this one. Journeying from the cozy cafés of Copenhagen to the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, our bluesy detective navigates banking conspiracies, spicy romantic entanglements, and the daunting challenge of a dry month; thirty days without wine or cigarettes. (The last one's the real kicker.) BACKLASH BLUES hits all the right notes in a tale of money, mischief, and some very shady shenanigans.
