If you see me on the watershed, I'll probably be smiling. Come over and say hello. I won't bite.
George Tripko, long-time leader of the family crime and business empire, has just died, and there isn't nearly as much money in the estate as there should be. Surviving organization members realize they are victims of a complex fraud, and openly suspect each other. But they are also certain that the family arsonist and enforcer, Peter Jarry, must have been an accomplice in the theft.
In order to safely step through the Tripko family minefields, Jarry must unravel the crime and expose the real thief.
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS an edgy, suspenseful, often hilarious tale in the first book of the Peter Jarry Crime Thriller series of crime fiction novels.
...captivates the reader with its relentless pace and tension. Dark humor is masterfully blended with suspense by Mark Thomas. The story offers moments of relief without dulling the sense of danger... Paper Dragon is an adrenaline-fueled crime novel packed with biting humor and high-stakes turns that should not be missed. It is a must-read for anyone who loves gripping crime fiction. Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Alma Boucher
Paper Dragon by Mark Thomas is a brilliant stroke of storytelling, and the author ticks all the boxes by building power through the collapse of George's empire, and the mix of mystery, danger, and sharply drawn surprises that fall upon Jarry as a result. ...the story is fully anchored in its own world, and it is a world I'd like to spend more time in when book two appears. Recommended. Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Asher Syed (5 STARS)
