"Crusher" dives into a world where the protagonist Finn finds his life upended and shrouded in suspicion. As someone who's been suddenly thrust into the role of detective in his own father's murder case, this book offers a raw and gritty journey that's as much about clearing a name as it is about self-discovery. If the collision of personal transformation with a whodunit narrative intrigues you, Finn's gripping race against time in "Crusher" will be a page-turner.
