Andrew Stock

about this book: I've always been a fan of legal thrillers and of film noir. In Gabe's Plan, I've tried to combine those two passions by writing a dark and textured story, like the best of film noir, with the page-turning plot and pacing of the best legal thrillers.

A DARK AND TWISTED COURTROOM THRILLER

Gabe Mapel is the young District Attorney of Pine Springs, Colorado--winter playground to the rich and famous. Gabe has long suffered from depression, but recently his mental health has gotten worse. He thinks a spirit from the past is telling him to grab fame and political power by prosecuting movie star Chad Tibbs for a crime he didn't commit. With a mark as rich and powerful as Chad, however, Gabe can't go it alone; he needs an accomplice...

Enter Kaila Eckman. You can find Kaila steaming lattes at Mountain Java in downtown Pine Springs. But Kaila is not just another cute barista; she's a whip-smart Swarthmore grad with a very bright future. The only reason she's back in Pine Springs is because she has unfinished business with a boy: Gabe Mapel. Unfortunately, to win over the ambitious young prosecutor, Kaila will have to seduce Chad Tibbs and falsely accuse him of doing terrible things.
