"A refreshingly inventive, exciting WWII thriller. A con artist taught escapes by Houdini, spiritualism tricks by Conan Doyle and Method acting by Stanislavski, his desperate mission takes him from Berlin to Paris to the deserts of North Africa and the intrigues of Cairo. It's unlike anything you've read before."
—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art
"Gary Kriss is a brilliant new talent who has written a literate, complex, historical thriller filled with truly slimy villains, taut nail-biting suspense and snappy good guys you are going to like a lot. Thanks, Gary, for a terrific fun read!”
—Stephen Coonts , New York Times bestselling author of Pirate Alley
“The Zodiac Deception offers a fresh and wondrously original take on the old World War II tale. Gary Kriss's sterling debut mixes magic and mysticism with espionage and derring-do to create a perfect blend of what you'd have if Eye of the Needle met Stephen King on a lighter day. The story may not be true, but you'll wish it was and believe it too. Bold, refreshing, and downright terrific.”
—Jon Land, bestselling author of Pandora's Temple
