Investment advisor turned novelist Gabriel B. Wisdom delivers a pulse-pounding eco-thriller of murder, lithium mining, and desert survival. If you crave thrillers with brains and heart, Salton Sea Tales delivers.” — Paul Slansky SALTON SEA, CA, UNITED STATES, January 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gabriel B. Wisdom , a veteran investment advisor and longtime broadcaster, announces the release of Salton Sea Tales , a gripping eco-thriller and speculative adventure set against the eerie, volatile landscape of Southern California’s Salton Sea. Blending ecological disaster, cartel intrigue, and high-stakes survival, the novel delivers propulsive suspense for readers drawn to eco-thrillers, crime sagas, and speculative fiction. In Salton Sea Tales, readers are transported to the sun-scorched heart of the desert, where the shimmering Salton Sea hides secrets, danger, and the lure of fortune. The story ignites with a mysterious plane crash that exposes a tangled web of murder, lithium mining, and cartel ambition. At the center of the chaos are Charles Horse, a cunning tribal leader with a shadowy past, and Dr. Geoff “Mahalo” Mulholland, a brilliant but haunted scientist whose quiet life is upended by violence and conspiracy. As alliances shift and the ground beneath them threatens to give way, these unforgettable characters must navigate a world where every choice could mean salvation or catastrophe. From underground caverns to anarchic desert outposts, and from cartel boardrooms to the unpredictable sea, Salton Sea Tales is a pulse-pounding journey through blurred lines of greed, justice, and survival. Wisdom’s background brings an unusual depth to the novel’s moral complexity and high-stakes terrain. He is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of American Money Management, LLC. Alongside finance, Wisdom built a long-running broadcast career at legendary rock stations KGB-FM San Diego and KMET-FM Los Angeles.
