Where Labyrinths End

"Where Labyrinths End by Nick Padron will keep you turning the pages with the kind of breathless abandon you'd feel if you ran with the bulls in Pamplona. As if Charles Willeford and Elmore Leonard had collaborated on a novel." Virgil Suarez, five times Pushcart Prize-nominated author of Latin Jazz and Going Down

"When a novel opens with young love and the running of the bulls in Pamplona, as does Where Labyrinths End, you know it will be a mad race to the end. Nick Padron uses his deep knowledge of the power and dark underbellies of both the Basque and Mafia worlds to paint a picture of lawlessness, greed, courage, and undying love so shocking and poignant the pages seem to turn themselves." Nancy Sartor, award-wining author of Bones Along the Hill

"Where Labyrinths End is an intriguing mix of literary and popular fiction and an intriguing mix of political and human follies, which are among the hallmarks of Nick Padron's fiction. This story grants the reader access to the back rooms of the big stages, and instead of being left with the impression that the performances are the characters' deceitfulness, one sees that they are the product of their individual, basic human drives-and the deceptions themselves are probably in our own minds." T. D. Badyna, author of Flick

"Nick Padron has taken his sharp literary skills and honed a razor's-edge thriller novel that will absolutely satisfy the appetite of readers from

Spain to New York, Miami to South of France." William Williamson, author of Some Came Naked

"Powerfully evocative of the Basque countryside, it also explores with true insight the worlds of ETA terrorists, the wealthy who are their kidnap victims, and the Mafia of the New York area. Suspenseful and intelligent, the driving action never lets up, while we find ourselves strangely sympathetic to both victims and their cruel captors." Laurence de B Anderson, author of The Redeemed

"Nick Padron's unique style imbues this story with an emotional edge not often found in crime novels. Padron brings the fast-paced prose of a

classic page-turner." Juris Jurjevics, author of The Trudeau Vector
