You will not be able to put this book down. " - Lawrence Jeffries
- "I highly recommend this book. It's a great read, especially if you like a good mystery, mixed with history, and tossed with fantasy. I really enjoyed the story and the characters, so much so that I hope there will be a sequel. Definitely worth downloading. " - Nadine Ferrero
- "This fast-paced and well-written supernatural mystery introduced me to my new favorite crime investigator! Move over Stephanie Plum! I loved the literary and mythology references that were woven in with science and paranormal in an accessible way. I can't wait to see what happens next. " - basbasfis-20 (Amazon)
About the Author
 |
| Writer Paul J. Mann |
His first novel, The Libyan Contract, was published in Australia and the U.K. in 1983 and in the U.S. under the title Prime Objective. Nine more novels followed and were published in 23 countries. His critically acclaimed novel Season Of The Monsoon was a dark account of modern imperialism in the form of a Western serial killer who takes murder holidays in India.
He has lived in Maine, in the USA, since 1995 and written for The New York Times Book Review, Boston magazine, Backpacker and Down East. His latest novels are The Witch’s Code, a tale of witchery in present day Salem, Massachusetts, and The Leek Club, a semi-autobiographical novel about mischief and mayhem set against the extravagant leek shows in the north of England in the 1950′s.
In his passport Paul J. Mann put his occupation as 'Writer.' To himself it's the most distinguished title in the world and the word 'Author' is too formal, pretentious almost. But there's something real and magical about being a writer. A writer has the freedom to unleash his or her imagination, to write anything, say anything, be anything. Paul J. Mann: "I still get excited when I sit down to write because I can't wait to see what's going to happen next."
