The Author's Friday Series is very pleased to welcome
Dennisport author and Friend of the Dennis Public Library Paul Kemprecos. The
author’s latest mystery novel Grey Lady was released last November. The story takes place mostly on Nantucket
and continues the adventures of Aristotle "Soc" Socarides, a Cape
Cod-based private detective. “Soc” has legions of fans who requested the return
of their favorite protagonist. Kemprecos happily obliged.
Paul Kemprecos’ first book in the “Soc” series, Cool Blue
Tomb, received the Shamus award for best original paperback from the
Private Eye Writers of America.
He also collaborated with Clive Cussler, the "master of adventure,"
in creating and writing eight novels in the best-selling NUMA
Files series. When that collaboration ended, Kemprecos wrote an adventure novel
on his own, The Emerald Scepter, whose protagonist Matt Hawkins is a
former Navy SEAL living in Woods Hole. He is at work on a sequel to the first
Hawkins book.
Please register at the Library or call 508-760-6219. This year's
Author's Friday Series is charging a $5 fee for attendance, which
benefits the Friends of the Dennis Public Library. All funds raised help
pay for library programs and materials.

This top predator is feared, misunderstood, and sometimes abused.
