King of Paine - Suspense - 99 cents - Amazon Top 100

[LarryKahn]

My new suspense novel, King of Paine, is currently ranked #63 in the Kindle store for Men's Adventure books. One blog reviewer called it "a complex, compelling, fast paced and intriguing thriller that will have you turning the pages well into the early morning" and, at 99 cents, called it an "incredible deal." Another raved that it's "a roller coaster ride of who done it, oops, no they didn’t. But it’s not just that, the story makes you think and ask yourself some really important questions.”

[LarryKahn]

Good morning! If I seem excessively chipper, it's only because I'm excited to report King of Paine's successful launch. At the midpoint of my blog tour, the book has received several excellent reviews and was featured on the website Kindle Books For A Buck just after Thanksgiving, propelling it as high as #14 on the Amazon best seller list for its Kindle category. Here's a sampling of commentary from book bloggers:

“Larry Kahn has managed to create a cast of unforgettable characters, throwing in a bit of sex and misadventure, while infusing it with legal, moral, and ethical dilemmas. To say that I thought the King of Paine was brilliantly written would be an understatement. I sat down to read the book in the morning and was unable to put it down until I read the very last page!” –The Write To Make A Living

“The writing is perfect. It just fits the plot and the characters. It’s that perfect understated writing that works so well for this kind of book. I felt like I could dig into the story and the people in it, and I think it is all due to Larry’s awesome writing. Plus, that plot? Holy hell! I never could have seen the twists and turns coming.” –Owl Tell You About It

“This is the kind of book where you can open it on ANY page and the story just pulls you in. It’s that good!..His characters, in particular Jolynn are well thought out and masterfully crafted. I have to admit i’ve heard the comparison between The Girl and the Dragon Tattoo and King of Paine and in my opinion, Kahn is better. I was never bored, in fact I hung onto every word in this story.” –Boekie’s Book Reviews

“King of Paine is a tautly written, absorbing page-turner. I usually can guess the ending to a police procedural by about the third chapter. This is not the case with Mr. Kahn’s wonderful new book…I highly recommend this book.”–Hampton Reviews

“King of Paine is the second book I have read this year that I thought would make a great movie…I definitely recommend this one. Once I started reading, I couldn’t walk away from it." –From the TBR Pile

“You wouldn’t expect a story that starts off with a newly minted FBI agent trying to figure out how to keep his personal past separate from his new professional life to take the path it does, but there are lots of issues to be explored here. What is the difference, truly, between fantasy and reality and what role does the anonymity of the internet play in that? At what point does a person’s health and well being trump their self-determination? What role do outsiders get to play in that determination? There are lots of issues to think about here and it adds depth to the story.”–What Book Is That?

I'm thrilled that readers are finding the book fast-paced and entertaining, but I love to hear when they truly connect with the characters and the issues they care about. It has always been my intention to write books that make readers think outside the box, and the reactions I'm getting so far are very rewarding.

King of Paine picked up another nice review today, from Mason Canyon on Thoughts in Progress:

"KING OF PAINE is filled with suspense, intrigue and murder. It’s a fast-pace adventure that will hold readers spellbound. The writing is smooth and flows easily from one scene to the next.

"Author Larry Kahn has created interesting characters with flaws that make them realistic. Kahn takes readers into the cyber world showing bits of the darker side. He also looks at how far some people would go to hold on to their youth."

A desperate patient. A rumored cure. How far would you go to find the fountain of youth?

King of Paine is a sexy, fast-paced suspense novel filled with characters who grapple with a range of intriguing end-of-life issues while everything they care about is at stake. The story follows two investigations, Special Agent Frank Paine's pursuit of a stalker committing a series of kinky Internet crimes and a reporter tracking the disappearance of wealthy senior citizens across the nation. Both paths lead to a hidden enclave where a brilliant biochemist harbors a deadly secret. Somebody is going to die there, and it may be Frank Paine's soulmate. Or him.

Well heck, I'll just go ahead and pick up King of Paine and The Jinx...sounds like they are both interesting, look forward to reading them!

[LarryKahn]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy them both. The Jinx is a political conspiracy thriller set around a fictional 2000 election, but it has enjoyed a resurgence as an ebook in this election cycle. It received great reviews from Publisher's Weekly and The Legal Times, among others. Only 99 cents at:

Excerpt from a new review this week by The To Be Read Pile:

"This is a highly enjoyable and engaging thriller that grips you very early on and refuses to let go! Don't let yourself be put off by the mentions of BDSM either because there is nothing very explicit in the text and in fact much of what Mr. Kahn mentioned is very tame, carrying only the merest hint of eroticism. The characters are well conceived too and the way the two plot threads eventually string together is very cleverly done. I'll be honest, this wasn't my first choice of book to review but in hind sight, this was a mistake on my part as I found myself enjoying this far more than I ever expected to! Within only a few chapters, I was hooked and couldn't stop reading right up until the end!"

[LarryKahn]

Amazing new review on the blog "Miraculous!" calls King of Paine "the most canny and intelligent suspense piece I've ever read." Here's another clip:

"Kahn's literary style is, I cannot stress enough, very impressive, and his organization and consistency of thought (which are the essential elements of a good whodunnit) amazes me...What I think I'm keenest on, is how this book covers so many branches of interest. Not just the sex, but also the federal suspense, the science of youth, the medical world, the secrets...This book will become your newest obsession as well as your biggest nightmare."

Full review (9 hearts out of 10!): http://thestephanieloves.blogspot.co...arry-kahn.html

[LarryKahn]

Reviewers have been consistently urging readers who are wary about KING OF PAINE's racy cover to look past it--while the movie version would earn an "R rating," this is far from erotica. Fans of romantic suspense will enjoy the spiciness, but most progressive mainstream readers who like fast-paced, intricately-crafted suspense will be amazed at what they're getting for 99 cents!

"Even with the sensitive issues of BDSM and euthanasia, I think King of Paine makes for brilliant, overall completely satisfying suspense science fiction -- one that enters mainstream, and one that ought to be way better recognized." --Miraculous!

Check out the reviews and give it a try!
