Mark Pryor On Writing a Novel Set During WWII-Era France To Honor His Family History
When it comes to my new book, DIE AROUND SUNDOWN, which is set in Paris in 1940, I’ve encountered the same question a couple of times: why did you want to write a second world war book? I quickly realized that there are actually three parts to that question—why set it in Paris, why in 1940, and why you? Let me try to explain, and with the easiest part: Paris. As a child, we would drive across France at least once a year on vacation.
DIE AROUND SUNDOWN

Even under the heel of the German occupiers, there’s plenty of crime in Paris, as Princess Marie Bonaparte, great-grandniece of the emperor himself, learns when she finds her fashionable home ransacked and her servants dead.

Law360 (April 22, 2021, 5:43 PM EDT) -- As was widely predicted based on oral arguments in AMG Capital Management LLC v. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Supreme Court has determined that Section 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act does not authorize the Federal Trade Commission to seek equitable monetary relief. Lest companies breathe a sigh of relief, they should know that this decision will not lead to the end of sizeable monetary awards in consumer protection cases.

F.D.R. Took Down Giants. Biden Can, Too.
By Mark Pryor, New York Times During his nomination hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland said he would “vigorously” enforce U.S. antitrust law. As the Biden administration actively considers who will lead that enforcement effort as the head of the Department of Justice’s antitrust division, they should look to the legacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt for inspiration.

The Grand Tour: Eight Thrillers Featuring Americans in Europe
There is a fine tradition in crime fiction where the protagonist finds him or herself dutifully trying to solve a riddle in adverse circumstances. It’s the “fish out of water” convention that I employ for my own series and, more specifically, I’ve always believed that one of the best ways to place additional burdens and stressors on a fictional detective is to have them ply their trade in a foreign land.

“The Book Artist” A Hugo Marston series By Mark Pryor: Review/Giveaway by Sandra Murhpy Details on how to win a copy of this book at the end of the review and links to purchase it. Hugo Marston, FBI, works as security and more for J. Bradford Taylor, U.S. Ambassador to France. Marston’s not a fan of some of the Parisian social events they have to attend, like tonight’s cocktail party. It’s even worse when he’s asked to escort one of the guests.
Mystery Scene
When former FBI profiler and now senior staffer at the US Embassy in Paris Hugo Marston is asked to accompany an artist to her exhibition opening, he is expecting to be bored stiff by the assignment.

Dominic
In Dominic, Mark Pryor drops the audience into the world of the titular character, a prosecutor—and a self-proclaimed psychopath. When the brother of Dominic’s romantic partner gets into trouble and an inquisitive detective begins looking into a closed case Dominic was involved in, Dominic has to consider what and whom he is willing to sacrifice in order to stay out of trouble himself. Pryor has put together a very readable book in a surprisingly lean form.

Dominic — no surname ever revealed, not even in a conversation with an Uber driver — is a prosecutor in the Austin, Texas, District Attorney’s office, currently handling juvenile cases.
