  Novels by Paula Cappa

  Latest book release October 2015, GREYLOCK (supernatural mystery)

  Murder, music, romance, and the phantasmagoria.

  “A smart, entertaining supernatural thriller. Think Stephen King meets Raymond Chandler with a score by Tchaikovsky. The author’s passion for both the arts and the natural world shines through on every page. Briskly paced and yet lovingly detailed, this novel was a genuine pleasure to read.” —David Corbett, award-winning and best-selling author of The Mercy of the Night.

  "Echoing notes of Phantom of the Opera, mixed with Raymond Chandler's Marlowe, and Peter Straub's Ghost Story, Greylock is a thrilling musical tragedy steeped in lore, mythology, and the madness of composition, leading to a crescendo of epic proportions. Paula Cappa is a gifted author, and this book will have you swooning in the aisles." —Richard Thomas, author of Disintegration.

Amy Belding Brown, author of Mr. Emerson's Wife.
