Cap City Mysteries

Cap City Mysteries is a series of standalone novels about disadvantaged teens from Washington, DC who find themselves confronting our nation's revered (and reviled!) federal institutions in ways that are comical, endearing, and alarming.

"Great Novel" (Five stars)
"[Capitol Kid is] well written and worthy of praise as a tightly woven tale. A page turner. I'd love to see this as a movie."  - Debra L. Chapoton

"Smart mystery thriller"
"Gourgey's smart mystery-thriller is a well-constructed game of wits. A strong and original plot and well-wrought prose, and believable, well-developed characters, make this a very satisfying read."- BookLife Prize for Fiction Critic’s Report (Capitol Kid)

"The Artist in the Attic"
"Gourgey masterfully conveys not only the angst of being a teenager but also the courage and resourcefulness that a talented, impassioned young person can muster." - Karen Lyon, The Literary Hill, HillRag.com
