Vero Beach Resident Martha Powers Named Finalist in National Book Awards
Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) May 17, 2007 -- Death Angel, the latest release from award-winning writer Martha Powers, 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.
A story seemingly ripped from the headlines, Death Angel is a chilling tale of what happens when a violent crime happens in a small town. Death Angel (Oceanview Publishing, ISBN: 1-933515-03-1, $24.95) explores an unthinkable, unspeakable crime and the mind of an unconscionable killer.
Named a BookSense Pick for November, Death Angel has garnered strong reviews. Library Journal hailed Death Angel as "gripping….a true page-turner," while Publishers Weekly heralded the book as "a gripping mix of a small town police procedural with a snazzy woman-in-jeopardy plot…will remind many of early Mary Higgins Clark and Sandra Brown…this tight suspense novel with its credible characters will keep readers turning the pages."
.
According to Roxanne St. Clair, bestselling author of Kill Me Twice, "Like the talisman that fuels the evil and drives the story, Death Angel is irresistible, seductive and spellbinding. Martha Powers has created a complex maze of rich characters, constant suspicion and unexpected twists. Don't start this one late at night!"
Death Angel was also named a finalist in the mystery/suspense category of both the Best Books 2006 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News, and the ForeWord Book of the Year Awards. Thorndike has purchased large print rights to Death Angel, and Doubleday Book Club has purchased book club rights for Death Angel.
