Grey Lady

The shiny new charter fishing boat financed with family money was supposed to launch a bright new career for Cape Cod fisherman, diver, and private investigator Aristotle "Soc" Socarides. But when the slip of a beer-oiled tongue brings the ire of a Russian KGB mogul down on his head, Soc finds himself drowning in a sea of troubles. As he looks for a foothold on the sandy shores of Nantucket Island, Soc discovers more than he ever bargained for: a deranged homicide suspect who thinks he's Captain Ahab and Soc is his first mate Starbuck; a high-seas case of murder and cannibalism that still stirs up emotions; a Cold War secret; a missing whaling artifact with a bloody history; and cutting-edge underwater technology with deadly potential. As he gropes his way through the Nantucket fog that shrouds the lonely moors and beaches, Soc will soon discover that "the little, grey lady of the sea," has a dark side the tourists never view, and that a single misstep can be fatal.

"What a character. Aristotle Socarides is a diver, a fisherman, and a PI who just can't seem to stay out of trouble. He's the brainchild of a genius - Paul Kemprecos - who knows a thing or two about writing action and adventure. I bow to the master and urge all of you to read this latest installment in a first rate series."
- Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 Internationally Bestselling Author

"#1 New York Times bestselling author Paul Kemprecos shows once again he is the undisputed master of high-action adventure, better on his own and better than his former co-author Clive Cussler period. Returning to his roots in Grey Lady, he brings back old friend Aristotle "Soc" Socarides in a rapid-fire tale chock full of historical mystery, cutting edge technology, and sea-going daring-do with so many twists and turns you'll need to take a Dramamine before you plunge in. Masterfully paced and brilliantly constructed, this is reading entertainment of the highest order."
- Jon Land, bestselling author of The Tenth Circle

"Paul Kemprecos has crafted another winner! The Grey Lady's dogged and irreverent private investigator Aristotle "Soc" Socarides is a blast to spend time with, and the story's clever twists and turns will have you rocketing through the pages until the very end. Don't miss it!"
