PANDION PUBLISHED JUNE 28
Third Novel Explores Life After the Crash for the “Ponzi Kid”
New York, NY June 28, 2022. Award-winning author William Michael Ried, in conjunction with CKBooks Publishing, today published Pandion, his third novel.
Pandion tells the story of Atticus Forester, the son of a billionaire, who lives a life of privilege between a Manhattan townhouse and Pandion, the family compound on the coast of Maine. But young Atticus misses a flight on his father’s jet, and that changes everything. Suddenly alone and on the street, Atticus must fend for himself armed only with his wits. He crashes in a Loisaida tenement and invents one scheme after another to feed himself and his dog. But tragedy piles upon tragedy when the jet crash is ruled sabotage, his father’s empire collapses, and a killer stalks what’s left of his family. Now Atticus must face the fact that everything he believed to be true is a lie, and he must find a way to save the ones he loves.
Ried’s first novel Five Ferries was a finalist in the 2019 American Fiction Awards for Best New Fiction. In 2021 his second novel Backstory won the New York City Big Book Award for Mystery, won a Silver Medal from the Wishing Shelf Book Awards for Adult Fiction, was a semi-finalist for the Kindle Book Award for Literary Fiction, and was named a 2022 Hoffer Award Category Finalist. In Pandion he has written a new genre-bending mystery of puzzlement, betrayal, and love that will keep readers turning pages until the very end.
