Two highly imaginative thrillers from Pulitzer nominee Lawrence De Maria.

• "PULITZER-NOMINEE LAWRENCE DE MARIA HAS ANOTHER WINNER IN COLE SUDDEN, AN ASSASSIN WORKING IN AN OBSCURE C.I.A. UNIT EVEN THE AGENCY WORRIES ABOUT!" (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)

• In SUDDEN KILL (Now SUDDEN OF THE C.I.A.), an ultra-secret unit forms an unholy alliance with vengeful mob bosses. In return for loads of cash, the C.I.A.'s best assassins bump off underworld turncoats. A win-win situation, right. The C.I.A. gets information about terrorists - and a slush fund it can hide from Congress. What could go wrong? Well, plenty, when the agency's apex assassin kills the wrong man. "A fun read. The author mixes three genres, spies, the mob and disasters, and makes it work. Reminds me of the movie, Key Largo, where man's violence takes a back seat to nature's. Lots of humor and a decent love story. Very different from his other books, but just as good." (Five-Star Amazon Review)

• In THE HADRON ESCAPE, a trail that begins in 1945 with a perverted Nazi doctor leads to the Hadron Collider in modern-day Switzerland. Two of the C.I.A.'s best - and most lethal - agents investigate. In Hadron's world of nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, particle accelerators and space-time continuum, something is terribly wrong. And the fate of the world may be at stake! "Part spy novel, part science-fiction, THE HADRON ESCAPE is an exciting adventure on both levels. Pure escapism." (John Crudele, NEW YORK POST)

If you like espionage thrillers filled with colorful characters, strange events and lots of action, then the Cole Sudden C.I.A. books are for you. And these two are just a click away!
