About Backlash Blues The Second Gabriel Præst Novel

"Copenhagen's usually cool, but not when Private Detective, 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. Journneying 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.)"--
