Killing Icarus

"The suspense builds like a burning fuse to a bundle of dynamite in another first-rate mystery from Paul Kemprecos."

-Dirk Cussler, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"Kemprecos proves again why he was Clive Cussler's first choice for a co-writer. Killing Icarus is taut, lean and a whole lot of fun."

-Jack Du Brul, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"From the first line to the last page, Killing Icarus is a spectacular and moody mystery. In the capable hands of Paul Kemprecos, we get a story crafted with the intricate precision of a Swiss watch. The windswept hills of a small New England town provide a wonderful setting. Art historian Abi Vickers and lawyer turned cop, Ben Dyer are characters you'll find yourself rooting for as the pages turn and the dark secrets of an old mansion loom over them like a shadow.

Paul's style and authenticity are second to none. He's like Cape Cod's version of Tony Hillerman. I urge you to pick up Killing Icarus, and when you're done, go back and read Paul's other mysteries. You won't be disappointed."

-Graham Brown, New York Times Bestselling Author

"It takes a writer of skills and talent to weave an impressive mystery involving Nazis, a famed American artist of the 1930's and 1940's, stolen artwork, a historical glider reenactment, and so much more, but Paul Kemprecos pulls it off with skill and panache. Killing Icarus is a stirring tale of secrets and betrayals, of old history coming to life, but more importantly, it's a love letter to the beauty and past of Cape Cod. Highly recommended."

-Brendan DuBois, Award-Winning and New York Times Bestselling Author

"Art historian Abi Vickers is an intriguing and refreshing heroine, and Killing Icarus is a fast-paced blend of mystery and suspense set upon the idyllic Cape Cod coast-which leaves me with one question for author Paul Kemprecos: When is the next Abi Vickers book coming out?"

-Robin Burcell, New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath of Poseidon

"Killing Icarus is a tension-filled thriller that puts the reader on edge from the first page. Paul Kemprecos places you on a roller coaster ride of action and suspense that will leave you breathless and have you begging for more. His characters are richly described and his plotting impeccable. Don't miss this novel from a master writer at the top of his craft."
