About book O Livreiro (2013)

Hugo Marston is the head of security at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. What a plum assignment! To live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with very little threat to the embassy and the Americans who serve there...what a place to serve!As Hugo becomes familiar with the city, he makes friends with an elderly bookseller, one of the many who have book stalls along the Seine. But suddenly, Max disappears. Hugo is concerned because the old man is a Holocaust survivor, and has become dear to Hugo.Soon, other booksellers also disappear, and as Hugo investigates, he learns that there is a more sinister connection to the disappearances. It seems that there is an unknown drug connection, and turf wars break out in the streets.Then Hugo himself becomes a target. With the aid of an old friend, Tom Green, a semi-retired CIA agent, Hugo puts the pieces together and brings both men to the center of the criminal organization that is responsible for the deaths and disappearances.This exciting and well-written novel is the first in a new series and I look forward to additional installments. Somehow, I can see this on the big screen with someone like Bruce Willis as Hugo and Donald Sutherland as Tom Green. Hollywood??? Are you listening??? This would make a great action movie!Congratulations, Mark Pryor. You’ve written a real gem!Reviewed by Holly Price author of “At Death’s Door” for Suspense Magazine This mystery takes place in contemporary Paris with the protagonist Hugo Marston,the chief of security at the US Embassy. He used to be with the FBI, so he isseasoned. When his friend Max is abducted from his street-side book vendor shop,the tale begins. Complicated plot and good characters keep the reader flowing along.This is the first of what is planned to be a series. Characters talking books isalways a draw.
