Praise for The Blood Promise "Mark Pryor is one of the smartest new
writers on the block. His new novel is a doozy."
--Philip Kerr, author of A Man Without Breath, a Bernie Gunther
novel "Pryor seems to have hit his stride in this series, as he
adroitly juxtaposes the light banter between Marston and Green with
some scenes of intense emotion.... And, all the while, the suspense
ramps up. Top-notch mystery in a skillfully delineated Parisian
setting."
--Booklist
Praise for previous Hugo Marston novels: "[I]n Pryor's propulsive
second novel starring affable former FBI profiler Hugo Marston....
The engaging characters sweep readers into a suspenseful chase from
Pigalle to the Pyrenées."
--Publishers Weekly "The Crypt Thief is an eerily good read. Mark
Pryor has crafted another chilling, complex, and compelling story.
Don't start it if you need a good night's sleep!"
--Allison Leotta, author of Speak of the Devil "A complex puzzle,
genuine suspense, and a compelling protagonist--what more can any
reader ask for? Oh yeah, a great location: Paris. I'm sold."
--Michael Robotham, author of Say You're Sorry "Pryor's steady and
engrossing debut combines Sherlockian puzzle solving with Eric
Ambler-like spy intrigue. With a cast of characters you want to
know better. . . ."
--Library Journal Starred Review and Debut of the Month! "A tale of
a city that's gritty, utterly real and filled with surprises both
horrifying and tender. Much like a baguette, this fabulous story is
crusty on the outside, sweet on the inside, and once you've had a
bit, you can't wait for more."
--Oprah.com "Enough intrigue to satisfy every reader.... A
fantastic debut!"
--RT Book Reviews "The Hugo Marston series now belongs on every
espionage fan's watch list."
--Booklist
