Welcome to
The Author Website of Gary Reed
I am the author of the novels A Fatal Cell Phone Video, Things Could Get Ugly, The Wyoming Plot, and --coming soon --An Independent Investigation.
An Independent Investigation is a legal procedural that trades car chases and shootouts for psychological tension and institutional intrigue, all set in a thick atmosphere of suspense.
With its focus on a legal team’s investigation, the book reimagines the classic mystery for an era when corporate confrontations often play out in boardrooms, not courtrooms.
Allegations that it bribed a state official and directed a violent attack on an environmental activist threaten to destroy a large engineering and construction firm. Hoping to clear its name, the company hires super lawyer David Dunkirk and his team to conduct an independent investigation.
As the inquiry unfolds, Dunkirk and team race to untangle a labyrinth of ambition, toxic personalities, and conflicting narratives—hoping to uncover the truth before the authorities do.
Hello,
I am Gary Reed, the author of the novels A Fatal Cell Phone Video, Things Could Get Ugly, The Wyoming Plot, and coming soon--An Independent Investigation.

My love of books began when I was a child, but I didn’t decide to write novels until after my legal career. I chose to write contemporary and historical novels, sprinkled with quirky characters and a bit of humor. Perhaps because I cut my teeth on novels by Dickens, Orwell, and Steinbeck, my stories tend to be socially conscious.
I hope my readers experience suspense and romance, tinged with a sense of the unexpected ways social injustices touch everyone.
