Killerfest

A BEAUTIFUL INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN STALKS THE WORLD'S MOST-POPULAR THRILLER WRITER!

One author has already been savagely slain. Sebastian Quimper fears he will be next. With good reason. The police have a threatening letter. It claims terrorists will seek revenge because the famous Quimper “insulted” Islam in one of his books! The literary superstar will be the featured speaker at a conference in Manhattan. The N.Y.P.D. will be out in force to protect him. But Quimper’s publishers are still nervous. He sells millions of books and is the key to a huge publishing merger – if he stays alive! They bring in extra protection. But no one could be prepared for what happens! In addition to satirizing the New York publishing scene, KILLERFEST provides non-stop action, plenty of surprises and exotic locations (London, India, Belgium and Tuscany, to name a few). *** "IF YOU LIKE HARD-BOILED ACTION, MEMORABLE VILLAINS AND TWISTY PLOTS, THE JAKE SCARNE THRILLERS NEVER DISAPPOINT! KILLERFEST IS ANOTHER SPARKLING THRILLER FROM DE MARIA, WHO ADEPTLY SKEWERS THE NEW YORK LITERARY SCENE.” (John Crudele, New York Post); “A LAWRENCE DE MARIA TITLE GIVES YOU MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE BOOK MARKETPLACE TODAY.” (Florida Weekly); “A MASTER OF THRILLER DIALOGUE.” (Washington Independent Review of Books); “WHILE DE MARIA MAY HAVE BEEN AN AWARD-WINNING FINANCIAL REPORTER, HE'S AN AWFULLY GOOD FICTION WRITER AS WELL.” (Naples Daily News)
