The Crypt Thief

Praise

Praise for The Crypt Thief:

"The Hugo Marston series now belongs on every espionage fan’s watch list."
—Booklist

“Haunting imagery in Père La Chaise cemetery sets the stage for Pryor’s chilling sophomore entry, and the City of Light becomes a backdrop for Marston’s adventures. The clever antagonist leads him on a merry chase that will keep the reader entertained throughout."
—RT Book Reviews

"Two young lovers make the fatal mistake of sneaking into Paris’s Père Lachaise Cemetery the same night as a bone-stealing psychopath in 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 

“An eerily good read. 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


Praise for The Bookseller:

"[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

"[A] fascinating adventure with enough intrigue to satisfy every reader.... A fantastic debut!" —RT Book Reviews, 4 1/2 Stars

"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 and a storyline cloaked in World War II betrayals…the author winningly blends contemporary crime with historical topics." —Library Journal Starred Review and Mystery Debut of the Month

"[A] well-crafted debut novel. Pryor creates a new hero full of intelligence and charm which mixes well with the ever twisting plot of the story. Each turn of the page is a new piece of the complex puzzle that readers will enjoy fitting together. A leaf out of a classic Agatha Christie novel, mixed with the modern world of crime, is a suspenseful adventure waiting to happen." —Portland Book Review
