Gabriel Valjan recommends

Man-Killer (2024)
(Gina Cototi Cases, book 1)
Lawrence Kelter
"A dash of humor, several splashes of intrigue, and molto attitude from two strong sisters, such that the men in their lives, good or bad, don't stand a chance. There's more to lust after than collectible cars. I hopped in and loved that Lawrence Kelter's MAN-KILLER. It put me in a New York state of mind. A pitch-perfect page-turner."

Black Label (2021)
James L'Etoile
"If this book had a tag, it would say 'proceed with caution' because nothing is what it seems. Told with a vivid and visceral style, this is le Carré's Constant Gardener meets The Fugitive. As the title suggests, BLACK LABEL is a top of the line thriller."
