About Killer Deals
WINNER 2024 Independent Publisher Book Award for regional fiction.
“Chris Quarembo’s new mystery/suspense novel . . . combines the ingredients of a memorable protagonist. . . , a complex plot with numerous twists and turns, rising action leading to a satisfying conclusion, and enough fraud, arson, and murder to keep any reader engaged from the first page.”—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
Philadelphia private investigator Andrea Fabiano is no stranger to tough cases that require her to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty. However, when she takes on what seems like a routine insurance investigation for her long time client, insurance executive Nate Warner, she soon finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy that puts her life on the line.
Despite having just completed an arson investigation course, Andrea is unprepared for what she discovers when she begins rooting around the charred remains of an empty warehouse that was destroyed by fire. Shockingly, she finds the buried remains of a human body, setting off a chain of events that test her investigative skills and push her to her limits.
As the case takes increasingly mysterious turns, Nate Warner goes missing, leaving Andrea to navigate a web of financial fraud and murder that leads her into sinister and corrupt corners of the city. Along the way, she’ll have to confront dark truths about her own past and deal with strained relationships, including with her foster brother, Tom Volpe, who happens to be a police detective assigned to the case.
Despite the challenges she faces, Andrea is determined to get to the bottom of the case and bring those responsible to justice. Along the way, she’ll discover unlikely allies and make surprising connections, all while fighting to stay alive in a dangerous and unpredictable world.
About Chris Quarembo
ABOUT CHRIS QUAREMBO
One of my most vivid memories from childhood is lying in my comfy bed on a Friday night, heavy rain pelting my window, mesmerized as I read The Hound of the Baskervilles. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished the novel, lucky not to have school the next day.
I was always an avid reader but Arthur Conan Doyle took me into a 19th-century world of adventure and mystery, where I went along with Sherlock Holmes when the “game was afoot.” I was hooked.
I went on reading all of the Holmes’ novels and short stories, moved on to classic mystery writers, such as Edgar Allen Poe, Wilkie Collins, Dorothy Sayers, and continued to devour my favorite genre fiction throughout my adult life.
At the same time, in my early career as a newspaper reporter, I covered criminal courts. I gained valuable insights into the real world of violent crime, reporting on trials, guilty pleas, and sentencing hearings.
It seemed inevitable, then, that one day I would try my hand at writing my own crime fiction. Being a native of Philadelphia I set my debut novel in the city I know and love. And I tapped into my family’s South Philadelphia Italian roots to create my protagonist, PI Andrea Fabiano and the world around her.
