Praise for City of Exiles
"Alec Nevala-Lee creates a dazzlingly detailed and authentic world
of intrigue, weaving a harrowing tale that will enthrall readers
with an undercurrent of political ambiguity that evokes le Carre
and an intricate, continent-crossing plot reminiscent of "The Day
of the Jackal". Delivering a complex mix of espionage, European
politics, Old Testament riddles and Cold War mysteries, Nevala-Lee
is clearly emerging as one of the most elegant new voices in
suspense literature."--David Heinzmann, author of "Throwaway
Girl"
Praise for "The Icon Thief""
"
"Alec Nevala-Lee is no debut author; he must have been a thriller
writer in some past life. This one has everything: great writing,
great characters, great story, great bad guy and a religious
conspiracy too boot. "The Icon Thief "is smart, sophisticated and
has enough fast-paced action to keep anyone up past midnight. I'm
jealous."--"New York Times "bestselling author Paul Christopher
"Twists and turns aplenty lift this thriller above the rest. From
the brutal thugs of the Russian Mafia to the affected inhabitants
of the American art world, this book introduces a cast of
believable and intriguing characters. Add a storyline where almost
nothing is as it first appears, and where the plot turns around on
itself to reveal startling contradictions, and the result is a book
that grips and holds the reader like a vice. I devoured it in a
single sitting."--National bestselling author James Becker
"Alec Nevala-Lee comes roaring out of the gate with a novel that's
as thrilling as it is thought-provoking, as unexpected as it is
erudite. "The Icon Thief "is a wild ride through a fascinating and
morally complex world, a puzzle Duchamp himself would have
applauded. Bravo."--National bestselling author Jesse Kellerman
