Killer Deals

"Like James Patterson, Quarembo uses staccato-like short scenes, a technique that sends the narrative careening ahead, the reader breathless by the novel's end. Let's hope that Quarembo, like Dorothy L. Sayers, Dashiell Hammett, Patterson, and George V. Higgins, produces sequel after sequel so we can follow the further adventures of Andrea Fabiano." --The New York Journal of Books, August 8, 2023 "A tough and tenacious female PI uncovers fraud and murder within a corrupt circle of Philadelphia real estate developers. So gritty and propulsive, you'll race through the pages to the surprising and satisfying finish." --Kelly Simmons, best-selling author of nine suspense novels, including Not My Boy, The Shortest Years. "Chris Quarembo's Killer Deals is the real deal, a beautifully written procedural with prose as precise as the investigation by the gloriously overworked and underpaid Andrea Fabiano. Step by careful step, we follow Fabiano into the heart of a twisted case of murder and arson even as we get ever closer to the demons that drive her doggedness and her outsized humanity. A true treat." --William Lashner, author of The Barkeep When Philadelphia private investigator Andrea Fabiano takes on a seemingly routine insurance investigation, she quickly finds herself navigating a web of financial fraud and murder that leads her into sinister and corrupt corners of the city. Andrea is forced to test the limits of her investigative skills and confront dark truths about her own past while fighting to stay alive in a dangerous and unpredictable world.
