Sarasota Native Ward Larsen Named Finalist in National Book Awards Competition
Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) May 18, 2007 -- The Perfect Assassin by Ward Larsen has been named a finalist in the mystery/thriller/suspense category of the National Indie Excellence 2007 Book Awards. Sponsored by PubInsider magazine, the awards celebrate excellence in independent publishing.
In The Perfect Assassin (Oceanview Publishing, ISBN: 1-933515-01-5, $22.95), Christine Palmer, a young American doctor sailing solo across the Atlantic, makes an incredible discovery - a man narrowly clinging to his life in the frigid waters. But there is much more to this desperate survivor than meets the eye. David Slaton is a Kidon - a highly-trained, highly-precise, and highly-dangerous assassin. The Kidon is both the hunter and the hunted, and he and Christine are in grave danger. One perfect shot will change the course of history. Will they win in this race against time?
With the precision of a sharpshooter, author Ward Larsen weaves an intricate tale of espionage and intrigue in The Perfect Assassin.
The Perfect Assassin was also awarded the Silver Medal in the Florida Book of the Year Awards, named as a finalist in the mystery/suspense category in both the Best Books 2006 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News, and the ForeWord Book of the Year Awards.
Ward Larsen is a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who flew combat in Operation Desert Storm. Currently a captain for a major airline, Ward lives with his family in Florida. For more information, please visit: www.wardlarsen.com
